Is there a muscle car that can run a 7 second quarter mile?
missA asked:
My two guy friends are arguing whether there is an American muscle car that is naturally aspirated that runs 7.88 seconds or less on a drag strip. Does not have to be street legal... obviously. Can not be a super turbo charger or nitro. They're placing big money on this and we need proof. Maybe a video or online land speed record postings. Let me know ASAP before they tear each others heads off!

muscle car
Well, a new corvette z06 7.0l runs 1/4 in 10.85 seconds. Unlikely that a naturally aspired american muscle car would be at the finish before the vette gets half way. For a standard 1969 Camaro does the 1/4 in roughly 12.75 sec.

This is probably what they were referring to. A Camaro that pulled a trailer 1000 miles and ran 7.64 seconds in the 1/4 mile.
The car is turbocharged.
There are lots of naturally aspirated Camaros that run in the 6 second range that are not street legal

NHRA Pro Stock’s are naturally aspirated and run like 6’s.

Theres a car over here in Australia that runs in Pro Street Unblown (no turbo charger, no super charger, no nitrous oxide) class built by Trick and Mansweto and driven by Tristan Ockers.
Its a 1969 Ford Capri with a 604ci Ford motor that runs 7.41 @ 185mph over the 1/4.
It is in the Pro Street catergory which allows extensive chasis mods (tubs, 4 links etc) but as far as being a “street car” if you drove it to the shops it would overheat and any cop would defect it on the spot.
muscle car
in the ihra there are some pro stocks that are naturally aspirated and they run high 6’s but that about as fast as a naturally aspirated car can go with the technology we have
