Note: I've had a lot of difficulty in verifying the best times of Ronnie Duke's cars, but I did find this video of the convertible running a 7.47 and I currently believe this was the best run of the car:

His other car, the 2002 Trans Am, appears to have run a best of 7.94 which I have noted.

[demonspeed]

Not surprised that 99% of the cars are f-bodys. Most interesting is the quickest NA is a heavy GTO.

[Pro Stock John]

Except that it's a tube chassis car, and is probably light.

[texasbullseye89]

Can I give honorary mention to Flaco for both his trucks so we can represent the truck scene? Granted he isn't as fast as those (yet, because I'm sure he is working on it) but for a truck it's damn impressive.

[Pro Stock John]

Absolutely. It's taken me a few months to pull this list together and I've already have a few cars pointed out to me that I missed... I need to work on the list and revise it a bit tomorrow.

[MetallicaMatt]

Any chance of a City, State of each driver?

[Pro Stock John]

Sure and would you like all their phone numbers?

LOL... Maybe some day Matt but next stop is to revise the list tomorrow.

[MetallicaMatt]

That would save me the hassle of having to look them all up... lol

[WILWAXU]

I have some of the old "Fastests" lists on my t-bite HD. I'll have to dig them up, (circa 2001) :D

[Pro Stock John]

John I'd be interested. I think I'm going to redo the list into the Top 100, and then the Top cars by category.

[cam]

I post in the other clean thread then i see this arent I an :asshole:

Anyways Aruns C5 ran many low 9.0's last year and there were some other fast C5's from Can perf crew.

Heres his 9.04

and just because I was bored he has this vid titled as a six speed record? Not sure but worth a watch

[Pro Stock John]

I've revised the article to include a true top 100 list now. If you have updates please post them here and I'll add them. I'd like full names of the owner so we can get away from using 'net sobriquets all the time.

Arun Ahuja

No idea what Robs last name is but hes an Asian dude ( Chinese iirc ) but Ive never met the guy. I was never part of the Agostino crowd anyways and neither was Arun that I know of

[lafinrat]

8.26 @ 171.86

Aaron Ginn, 370 cid, 6.0 block 0.030 over, 98 mm turbo, E85, 28/10.5, 3375#

[BigBronco]

Looks like Fereday and LMR need to have the list revamped again for that 7.26 pass @ 209 mph on Drag radials. LOL

[Nine Ball]

Those of you submitting car info and times, please also help us collect photos of these cars for the gallery! Send them via email to John(at)motorsports-media.com

[Pro Stock John]

Thanks Tony! I'm back from a week in LA and there is much work to be done on this list.

[Pro Stock John]

And look at this, #100 is a 9.5 car, talk about a quick list!

#100
9.53@133 MPH, Phil Legler, 1963 Nova SS
BWS488 turbo/ TSP 408/ Blow-thru carb/ Stock L92 heads/ Powerglide/ 31x18 tires

[WILWAXU]

John I'd be interested. I think I'm going to redo the list into the Top 100, and then the Top cars by category.I'll take a look on my HD when I get home.. in a couple days ;)

[Pro Stock John]

Updated.

#100 is a 9.40 entry, hows that for a quick list!

[cam]

Dang... All 9's... Things change quick eh?

[Pro Stock John]

If that wasn't crazy enough #72 is a 8.98 car. I think the top 100 will all be in the 8's by next year.

[Pro Stock John]

And the top 100 are 9.27 or quicker, wow.

[-Joseph-]

The TSP car has a 92mm Fast intake, not a 102mm......not yet anyway. :)

[Pro Stock John]

I'll be doing an update this morning. :)

[cam]

Wow. Who was the first LS powered car into the 9's? When was that?

[Pro Stock John]

I am not 100% sure, I'm thinking an ARE car but I'll ask around.

Bump is an 9.2 for the top 100, and I think it will be an 8 something before the end of the year.

Guys I'm listing historical data too, so if you notice any missing cars from the past let me know, I have another to add.

[Reckless]

Wow. Who was the first LS powered car into the 9's? When was that?

I think it was the W2W built "GM Show Camaro" driven by Kurt. Probably around 1999?

[BillyBob750]

Can I add a friend of mine onto the list?

Daniel Leddy - Lexington, Kentucky
1999 Camaro Z28
416" LS3 - TH400
Two Kits, 3300LBS
9.18 @ 147MPH (November 2008)

best pass not on this video, but you get the idea.

[Pro Stock John]

Sure, I have some updates for today.

[Nine Ball]

Nice list, but please add a lot of photos too! At least pics of the top 25 cars.

[Pro Stock John]

Photos, brief description, and vid links are in the works thank you for your interest and welcome to the site. :)

[Pro Stock John]

I updated the list with a few new times, added Russ Flaman to the list for the first time as well as added a history entry (Mike Brown's 2002 CE Trans Am).

[Pro Stock John]

James Hetfield just reported that he recently went 9.32@153 MPH in his Canada-based S10.

[cam]

Metallica James Hetfield?

[Ragtop 99]

Long list of 9 second cars. I remember when my heavy-ass vert's bolt-on 12.02 could make it into the top 10 for that category.

[Pro Stock John]

And Gopshes/Reinhard just cranked off a 7.86@177 MPH, taking away the quickest-nitrous-10.5 record!

[Pro Stock John]

Updated 12.20.10

[Pro Stock John]

All, I will be updating this list in mid-December, a TON of cars have moved down the list. I ended up expanding the list to 190 cars, and this year I'll go to 200.

In fact, I read that Mike Brown, who is at MIR this weekend, cranked out a 7.25@198!

[cam]

Arun did an 8.8 recently. I dont really know of any others I was only at the track once this year

[Pro Stock John]

Thanks actually I'd love update links or posts in this thread, as I will have a lot to compile.

[cam]

If I stumble across any others I'll link them. Im having a bit of an MB disconnect these days though. The times they are a changing :jammin:
