Hmm...a 302 Camaro could come pretty close to these E.T. numbers. Speed wise it would beat them all.

FYI I added the average of Road Tests of stock z28 cars - the z28 was a good combo but not in the same league as the big stuff. Even in stock or SS, the best I am seeing is about 116mph. Everybody (Chev, Ford, Mopar, Pontiac) had their best stock and SS cars in the 120+range in heavier cars.

I am trying to compare apples-to-apples though I am well aware of the flaws and scatter in "road tests" of the day. That's why I am also compiling numbers on NHRA class et/mph, it's a cleaner indicator of what a car will do.

In STOCK class, the z28 was a cuss of a nuisance to Ford's pride & joy the 428cj; with the Z's weight advantage, and the grocery-store cam in the 428cj, the cars were nearly equal. In SS it was a different story as the 428cj got to ditch its tiny cam and boat anchor intake.
