Ken B. from modular depot has one of the fastest bolt on 2V cars, and a has gone something like 11.7's in his 2000 GT with the stock 4.6 liters. He has ported heads, ported Bullitt intake, cams, longtubes/full exhaust, other bolt ons, and a lot of weight reduction with a full suspension.
I imagine with cats and a retune, it could come darn close to passing a sniffer test. But the cams might be a bit aggressive for that. As for passing a visual inspection in CA, I don't think thats happening.
Now, getting into 4V cars, there is even more room for power. Throw a stroker into it, yet more N/A power. But most of the fastest 2V cars I know of are sporting longtubes w/o cats, and custom cams. So technically they are not legal.
