One of my customers just sent me this - it's really impressive. This is a modified engine - I'm not sure what all he has done to it though. He sent it to me because he's running my mufflers & he wanted me to hear it. This 'Vette gets it! It's got dual 3" chambered exhaust.

I think Jimbo's car is an '03. What do these run box stock? Under 11-sec. is honkin for sure. I have a buddy with a mid-80's Mustang with a Lightning motor that has run mid-10's on pump gas through a 4-bbl. I can't imagine a naturally aspirated Mustang small block outrunning this 'Vette!
