Is my memory really that bad???

I didn't see the show in question but a 302 Camaro should run a hell of a lot faster down the quarter than 16 seconds. 12 years ago my daily driver was a 75 Olds 442 with a bone stock 350 Olds (factory rated at 160 HP) and a T-350 and highway gears and it ran the quarter at 15.8's @ 85 MPH all day long. The only thing not stock on my car was true dual exhaust.
