Right? I feel like I walked into a coffee/barber shop. I thought I might read something interesting but nope.

I think that it's very interesting how different "Car Guys" view what a "traditional" Muscle Car is.
Ya know, I used to race a 1985 Pontiac Sunbird Turbo. It was fun and pretty fast. In the 1985 model year, the Turbo Sunbird WAS the fastest Pontiac body style period. I don't know if it's a Muscle Car though.

More like Joe's Bar and Grille to me...Wait ..it's Grill, isn't it?

Re: Quickest traditional Muscle Cars in Stock
 

Agree with many of the names mentioned already. In an effort to get this thread back on track, I will throw out a few cars, some of which are sandbaggers that rarely show what their capable of running:

Jim Boudreau, '69 Camaro 396
Don Little, 1970 426 Hemi
Dwayne Scheitlin, 1970 Challenger 440 Six Pack
Ryan McClanahan, 1969 Camaro 427
John Shaul, 1964 Plymouth Fury 426 Max Wedge

Hopefully, with the new AHFS rules, people will be more inclined put up some big numbers at least once a year at fast tracks.

Barber shop not necessary for many of us that lived thru the “muscle car” era

Sorry if my post went a bit off the rails, I was just reminiscing and got off the main question

The big cars are rarely raced in the modern era of Stock but they certainly were at one time.

Re: Quickest traditional Muscle Cars in Stock
 

Back in early 70s, we were at the Saturday night street races with a 70 350 LT1 Camaro and a 67 396 375 chevelle, a guy showed up with a white 1963 Ford Galaxy with a 406 3 duece Thunderbolt and schooled us on what a muscle car was.

When did I mention FE Mustangs? There are none that qualify for my post hence the reason I mentioned Ponds cars and Steve Wann's. You sure look like a ***** with your replies to a simple question!

Re: Quickest traditional Muscle Cars in Stock
 

They were considered full size at the time.


IMHO a traditional muscle car would be up to the year of 1965

Re: Quickest traditional Muscle Cars in Stock
 

My favorite "Muscle Car" is the 1969.5 (A12) Plymouth Road Runner 440 6bbl. Steve Wann has "tuned up" a few with great results in Stock Eliminator.

Simple answer :
Okay, so now we know for sure specifically what you were looking for, this thread would have been over in three or four posts .
