Yeah, what about a 66 427/450HP Vette or an L88. Their 1/4 times were as quick or quicker than those listed.

That's one of the worst magazines I've ever read in my life. Absolutely terrible. The black '63 Bel Air lowrider takes up God only knows how many pages and there's even talk about 66-7 Novas being affordable....except the for the big block versions. Yeah, show me a factory Rat-motored 66-7 Nova. Don't even get me started on that Top Ten Fastest List.

I think an L-88 owner or twenty might be a-kickin-some-booty
over that list. Does this rag, ( err. mag. ) even know what
a COPO car is? One or two should have made that list.

I want some of whatever that guy who put that list together is smoking. Don’t get me wrong, I
think the 67 SS-427 Z24 cars are absolutely gorgeous but “No Way” does it make the Top 10
Fastest. Top 50 MAYBE!!!! Not the top 10...

Have to agree with Mark. I will give them credit for the attempt. However, in fairness, there is no really reliable data base from which to compile such a list. All tests were done differently. Biggest variable, especially for those on street tires (bias ply?) would be driver skill. Anyway, it is more fun to argue.
