Depends on what year and what PSI he is pushing. With enough boost its possible but to run 10's he has some sup upgrades.

unless it was like an F1 procharger or something and he's got massive engine work then ill raise the b.s flag on this one, i wish i had a chemistry teacher back in my day who even knew what a supercharger was

Unless he is a really good driver and not spin at all.... I don't see how he runs 10's with that car on that tire setup. Looks to me he would be spinning quite a bit but who knows. Its possible I guess... but its still a little hard for me to believe it.

Maybe because hes a chem. teacher, he cooked up some new super fuel like liquid shwartz! I would say he did his research and trial & error tests with different setups.

I would call BS but he may swap tires for when he races it. Depends on mods and boost, etc.

even if he isn't lying he's not making himself look cool or anything, do you really think he cares what stupid little kids think. so if he's lying he's just doing it to screw with ya, that's what i'd do if i was a teacher hah. if anyone argued...insubordination=detention haha.

high tens possibly - low tens.. i mean low 11's are hard as hell to come by on a stock motor. - youd have to see his car
