Holy smokes guys, I was just looking at the list and it is amazing.
When I first looked at the list in 1998 the fastest and only car in the 12's was 12.5 on nitrous with the next two duking it out in the low 13's. The top ten took you into the 14's, and it was generally accepted that SC's could not run 12's with a stock motor and would self destruct before 300rwhp.
My how things have changed! Now it has been proven that the stock motor will handle over 400rwhp and 14's are only considered a starting point.
Currently the top 5 are all 11 second cars, it takes a 12.5 to get into the top ten, and a 13.0 just barely gets you into the top 20. A 14.5, well that isn't even good enough for the top 50 anymore. I remember when I first looked at the list my 14.5 was good for a spot in the top 15.
I was just amazed at how things have changed and I thought I would share.
Have a nice night!!
