Yeah, but #1 looks crazy as hell….1,3,2,5,4
It was a ZL1 COPO car in drag trim that I recall ran a 10.3 1/4 mile (couldn't find the article, but I think I have it in an old magazine somewhere). Those cars had around 550 hp from the factory, even though GM claimed they "only" made around 425 hp. But true, they were extremely rare, I think only 50 were ordered and few wanted to pay more money for a Camaro than a Corvette.But a COPO was rare and not the norm. I chose my words wisely. Also when did they run 10.3?
“In 1969, both types of COPO cars were drag tested in street trim in magazines. The Chevelle posted a quarter-mile time of 14.10 e.t. at 101 mph, while the COPO Camaro posted a 13.16 with a 110.21 mph.”
Just an example, I’m curious.
But we thought they were fast.... until we knew better.
Yeah, my dad's old Wildcat got about 7-8 mpg out of that old nail head.Funny part is all cars out of the factory back then were horrible on gas mileage AND slow as shit
Edit…Beat me to it
I was thinking the rear starboard passenger.
Last seen charging a machine gun nest with his grease gun.
Nice.

It's all about perspective. Compared to the cars of the day they were quick. It's like comparing a ww1 bi- plane to an f-16. Time marches on. Today's thrill is tomorrow's norm.From that link:
3. 1967 Camaro SS/RS
0-60mph: 8.0 seconds
Engine: 350 cid
Power: 295 hp
Transmission: Automatic
Tested by:Motor Trend
------------------------------------------------------
The '67 had a 327, IIRC.
I think the HP number is wrong for a '67 SS also. I'd need to do some searching. I have an old Hot Rod test of the '69 Z-28. They got it through the 1/4 mile a little over 14 seconds. I'd like to see a minivan top that. I had a '72 Z-28 that ran the quarter in the mid-14s stock, and the tires Chevy put on it were shit. With minor tuning and decent rubber (street tires, not slicks), it ran 12.7 at St. Louis International. But that's not fast. If you could get a Hemi Cuda to hook up, that was a decent street racer for its era.
The better comparison would be '60's and '70's muscle cars to recent performance cars. There's no comparison. There are quite a few recent-model street cars that run in the 10s and 11s with a solid driver. 9 second street cars are not unheard of.
Edit: The base SS was a 327 and there was a 350 option in '67.
If this is to me the article is referring to late model COPO cars that are 1000hp running sub 11 seconds.From that link:

I think you’ll have better chances by sacrificing 30yo virgins at a stone alter on Mt Vesuvius.
