When I was drag racing my ImpalaSS last weekend I saw a Magnum Rt run a best of 14.78. One of the members of our club sold his Impala SS and bought one and raced with it. We were bracket racing. It was pretty consistent, and went a few rounds. That means that the 14.78 was about it on that day at that track. Maybe a 14.25 on a cold day.
It could be much quicker with changes in the exhaust, intake, slicks, torque converter, and gears. Like any other car. One problem with these cars is the computer isn't hackable yet, so you can't mess around too much (like a gear change for instance). I don't think there's much available for them yet in terms of aftermarket parts, but their popularity gaurantees that wont last long. Give them a year or so and they will get them down into the 12's NA. Then I'll have to stick a bottle in the SS's trunk to keep an edge on them.
