Quickest traditional Muscle Cars in Stock
 
Facebook topics that have come up. What are the quickest & fastest traditional Muscle Cars racing in Stock?
I know Robert Pond has been 9.60s with both his 64 and 67 Fairlanes. Steve Wann in his Mr 413 Savoy and Mark Madison in his 65 Hemi Savoy. Who else?

New definition of Muscle Car for the new millennium, I guess
BTW, Camaros are pony cars

64 T-Bolts and Race Hemis weren't "traditional Muscle Cars". Neither were Camaros, Mustangs or Cudas and Challengers.
Novas were. Wann's Mr. 413 would have been. 67 Fairlanes were.

So was a 1970 Camaro a pony car still or a muscle car? What about a Mach 1 Mustang fastback? Where is Webster's on the exact definition of a muscle vs pony car? Corvette's I guess are also a completely different category.
I think the original posters question was referring to all high HP cars of the 60's to early 70's that run Stock.

No, they aren't. Corvettes are "sports" cars.
The original poster specifically said "traditional" Muscle Car.
"Traditional Muscle Cars" were full and mid-sized cars with HP engines.
Webster's doesn't even fully understand the true definition of a car.

Savoys, Belvederes. etc. are intermediate Chryslers, but race hemis weren't borrowed from their full size line so they don't qualify either ;-)

Graduated from high school in 1967 and think everyone considered GTO’s, Road Runners, Super Bee’s, Chevelles, GS Stage cars, WO Cutlasses, etc all muscle cars. Don’t think anyone would have considered Camaros like the Yenko’s, Six Pack E bodies, etc anything but muscle cars. Hemi cars built by several would qualify as candidates for some of the quickest in Stock.
