2010 mustang goes 8.97@153..

No the Hemi Dart/Cudas didn't run in the 8's until the last few years. Thats still not to shabby considering the technolgy they are working with.
What I have read, that they were running in the 10's with the slicks. They did give the Mopar guys a head start when Pro Stock came to be. The Mopar guys seemed very competive for the first 3 years, until the rule changers kept adding weight to them.
