Mine was my Barracuda with a mild 318 in Denver...16.5-16.8.
The scariest run a saw was in the American Graffiti stick shift class at Bandimere. This class was laddered from round 1, slowest v.s. fastest. I remember seeing an old VW bug with a ~ 24 second dial up against a mustard yellow 50's Ford that dialed ~8.5...at the stripe the bug was going a little over 50 mph and the ford was over 160! Spooky!...thought the bug was going to end up on his window.
Slowest car I ever raced was my old 74 Dodge Charger with a 340. It ran 17.1. After I got an edumacation, it ran 14.4.
The fastest car was the 74 Dodge Charger. With a 496 it ran 10.80 in full street trim.

a 1966 Barracuda, 273 2bbl automatic.
thing would launch incredible, then just lay over... 24.xx in the quarter. the timing system would nearly reset itself waiting for me to finish a run. this car was a certified POS, no tail lights, so I'd have to ride the brake when driving at night, no heater, so i'd have to scrape the inside of the windows as i'd drive in the winter, tore the exhaust off getting stuck on a tree stump behind the tower at Milan Dragway, Flex piped a new exhaust on it. perfect first car for a 16 year old.

88 Dynasty.
I (and a few friends) went numerous rounds in that car. Made it to the semi's one night, after winning 6 previous rounds.
I remember thinking (17 or so at the time) that this bracket racing thing is cake. LOL.
Best ET was 18.12. From what I remember in all of the passes I made in that car, the ET range was from 18.12-18.27ish. It was dead nuts consistent. Wish I was half as consistent.
72 RR, Pump gas 440, 452s, 3800 lbs, Corked, ET Radials,. 11.33@117.72.
Same car, bone stock 346s, 9.5 comp, baby solid. 12.24@110.

man, i thought i would have this nailed, but after reading some of the other responses, well...i took my wifes eagle station wagon out one day, dialed a 19.75 and got to the finals where i got happy feet and redlighted. that dial almost seems too fast for this topic!
It may be ugly, but it sure is slow.

1965 Dart GT with the 273 HP and automatic tranny. I think it ran a 12 in the 1/8 mile.
I had a 1984 Turismo 2.2 that was a blast to drive that ran 10.8 in the 1/8. It was horrible in the 60 ft. Course it was not stock at all.
