It's like watching a clock count down with those times through the decades. 13, 12, 11, 10....... Will be interesting to see what our current decade will bring. Nice find

Strange that they would include the '64 GTO time (13.1 - 115) when it was discovered (later) to have been equipped with an HO 421 short block, according to Wangers...
The C/D '69 Camaro was equipped with a prototype '70 LT1-350, and the Project was called the Blue Maxi, painted up like Donohue's racer. Helluva car! |

Almost 20 years later and the Mclaren F1 still trumps the crap out of much newer super cars.
