wow those are pretty good numbers. I am way behind even from stock times compared to their tests. I wish they woulda said the elevation and temperature. Best I ran stock out of the box from dealer with same setup as their manual test car was a 14.0 at 101. 60 foot times were similar to theres and I have been drivingo n the strip for many years, and they still killed me by half a second. Either I have a dog *** car or they were at sea level.

If you want to do it on street tires, I think 4.10s will be too much to handle.

I ran a best of 12.87 with just K&N CAI, VMP 93oct email tune, stock pirelli tires, stock 3.55 gears, no weight reduction. I probably had around 25-30 12 sec passes with this setup, so it was not just one glory run. These cars don't need very much, just some good conditions and a lot of seat time.

Did it with even with a lack of hp. The point is 12's are easy. bolt ons + tires + a good driver= 12's!

Well I will find out when I get my car back today from the exhaust shop and head to the track next open night. You do have to factor in elevation and temp though
