Think about it, a car from that era running 11's from the factory. I've never heard of such a thing. One of the bests I've seen is a 1970 Chevelle with a 454(my dream project car) that ran low 13's on street tires.

Do some more research before talking. I owned a 66 stang for 5 years, was a member of many clubs, and got to see these boss429s first hand.. I have heard them run, and can tell that they are barely streetable.. 454 chevelle? nice but not the quickest.. And btw I can name one off the bat.. the shelby 427 cobras..yes..a ford ran low 12.2 at 118mph easily all day long.. so I guess that shoots your 'dream car" down already... And why did they change the numbers for insurance reasons? Well if you did a little reading you could find out for yourself.. but it seems you are too lazy or can't read.. pick one I don't care.. they orig called the 429 a HO429 then changed the name to boss. What was the difference between the boss429 engine ran in NASCAR and the boss429 sold to the consumer? Nothing. They were the same engine.. There were options to swap carbs, and put milder cams in for customers who wanted them, but the 429 was the same designed for NASCAR. I am not sure, but I don't think NASCAR lets cars compete that do 14s in the 1/4.
