The Shelby Super Snake has 850 HP and a quarter mile time of 10.66 seconds on pump gas and street tires. The 2012 Ford Cobra Jet Mustang is a true production car that is the quickest bar none, with a 0-100 mph time of 3.26 seconds, and 0-60 mph time of 1.52 seconds. The car was not street legal, and only 50 were made for a price tag of about 100K, but it was a true production car. Links to both cars are listed below.

Not much faster than the production 63 Z11 Chevy Impala 427 running 10.8 seconds@128 mph over 50 years ago. Street legal. Cost around 4 grand.....:eek:

So true Dave. The main thing that we have now is technology. We make power in a very efficient manner. My GT Mustang, while it is only a 12 second car, got 32.7 mpg on my last trip to Raton to shoot a match. Not bad for a 400+ HP V8. I went the speed limit, no running 5mph over, and no passing with my foot to the floor, also drove like I had an egg under my foot. Speed limits ranged from 55 to 75mph. It wasn't a fun trip at all for a muscle car. I promise not to drive that way again. It's just wrong.

Back in the 60's, there were a lot of very quick cars from all manufacturers, most got less than 20 mpg, but gas was cheap, so why not use as much as possible to make a much power as possible. Your 409 is just another good example of American made muscle. My dad's 59 Chevy had the 348 with a six pack, he talked about how quick it was on many occasions.

The FIA information came from Wikipedia, but the FIA is a European organization I believe. Ford is an American company, and here in the USA, we go by the NHRA, and they say a production class car has to have a minimum of 50 cars to qualify.
