Fastest 3rd Gen on the Street?

Who has the fastest "STREET DRIVEN" 3rd gen out there?

I took a very impressive ride with someone on this message board who's 3rd gen is his daily driver and runs in the low 12's.

It was unbelievable.

Check out the new GM High Tech Mag. A guy named Tory Hess ran 10.00 @ 140 MPH and it says it's driven 150 miles a week. That is a BAD ride!
Says it has a 5500 stall though, I would think that is a pretty high for the street, but it has to be fun.

I'm trying for it. Should go LOW 10's on the squeeze (150 wet) And I could put in another stage later for single digits.

I was driving my TTA all over the place, 400 or 500 miles every weekend. Consistently running 12.70's and getting 20 MPG or more.

I hope that I can build my naturally aspirated L69 up so that I can get in the low 13's, no nitrous.

That would be OK with me. I'd eventually like to come up with a combo to get me into the low 12 or mid 11's.

I saw a Formula 350 at the track, run a 10.60 at almost 130. It looked real clean, and sounded nice. It also had plates on it, so it probably sees street use.
