I also just spent about 15-minutes going through the fastest list over at SVT site and from what I read the fastest true stock run listed was 12:67, most averaged from 12:75-13:20s like I stated above the average Joe is good for a high 12 second run. Maybe I missed something though. Now when you start talking about drag radials and bolt ons the times come down. So when you come in here telling me that I don't know my facts do a little research on the average times in your own site and forum.

This kind of reminds me back in 1986/87 of the 87 Mustang 5.0 then a few magazines like Cars Illustrated and Super Stock and Drag Illustrated ran a pair of new 87 5.0s one was Mean Mr. Mustang, I can't remember the other, with a few bolt-ons they were running high 12s, at the same time the average Joe including myself could only get mid 13s with the same parts. Funny thing is all the 5.0 guys were going around saying the 87 5.0 was a 12 second car even though the stock 5.0s were just breaking into the 13s.
