And on the whole car approach, let’s not overlook the “Light Makes Might” school of thought. I’m pretty sure a stock bottom end ‘69 318 with a cam, intake, four barrel, headers, and moderately decent heads could probably run sub ten second times in something like a serious street strip Morris Minor, Opel GT, Dodge Colt, etc. Might be more of a young man’s ride for long distances but more than one way around that fence.
