Really? Grand Nationals running 14 flat and dipping into the 13s bone stock. What about the Grand National GNX that ran 13 seconds flat. 5.0 Mustang running low 14s and some of the stippo notch cars could dip into the 13s stock. What about the '89 Trans Am with the Grand National engine running 13 seconds flat? Camaro 5.7L in the late 80s I saw them running low 14s at the track right off the show room floor. Definately not a bad time for American cars at all. Late 70s yes those cars sucked. Late 80s that was the return of the American muscle car those were good years.
