There are several high end SS cars that are built more like a Pro Stocker than you may realize. Many of the hemi cars, a red SS Volare from Cajun Country as well as many of the FWD conversion cars are quite sophisticated. They just have a lot more rules and factory sheetmetal that they have to work around. The more sophisticated the rear suspension is, the less travel the front suspension needs to have.
I can't think of one off hand, but I'm sure a 60' wheelstand would be possible with a low 11 second car if everything is set up for it. One doesn't necessarily need a trans brake, mega-inches, fiberglass, etc. But it does help. Carb, shock and converter tuning are major factors. There is also a risky phase in the fine tuning to get it right without damaging the rear bumper and oil pan/headers.
