Only exception I can think of is the Yenko Deuces. Mid 13s, sometimes 12s depending on driver.

That is a very nice, flat TQ curve - looking very similar to a mild carbed 350 SBC.

My point is that the L98 motors have 20lb-ft more TQ and you definitely feel it down low, the 40 to 60hp difference in output makes for an obviously faster car.

I had a few friends with 1993 LT1 cars when they were new - they just didn't have the take off of the 1989 to 1992 350 cars, even though the 93s would easily win the race after 60mph.
