Default 5.0 Auto 1/4 times

Found this on another forum

"Just got back from the track, i am very happy to say the least. Right off the freeway into the staging lanes after tech the first pass i did a 12.85 @ 114.8 Did a little cool down and dropped to 12.80 @115.171 with no cool down right back to the staging lanes it blasted to a 12.73@115.59 i was so surprised for a auto to be this fast and consistent. I did 8 passes all ranging from 12.88 to the 12.73.
This is 100% stock with 400 miles on the clock and stock tires at 35psi launching on idle with the traction control on. The best part was seeing the driver of the New Camaro ss with his newly installed long tubes drop his jaw at the times while his best was a 13.09 @ 110
Ill get the videos of passes from my buddy here shortly and post them up

The weather honestly was perfect mid 70s couldn't of asked for better. All the runs where with 2.0 60 foots"

I agree. But Motorweek ran a 13 with a 116 with the conv they had. Could the 3.15's have something to do with it?

The weight of the convertible could have made a difference
