I've heard 12.6-12.9 stock w/ a good driver. Drive it good and you should see 12's...

Dan hit it on the head. The car should be able to get into the 12s, so the question would be how much experience does the driver have in launching the car. Wheelhop, as you probably know, is a killer. Both on your time slip and on the rear end.

Here's something else to consider, though. It is a fact that bone stock the Terminator makes anywhere from 340-395rwhp. That's a pretty wide margin. So if you happen to have one of those Terminators with lower than average (365rwhp) power from the factory, you might have to work harder to get into the 12s. Just a note worth remembering.

Assuming you have plans to visit a track, you want to get an optimum 60' time. And that will take practice.

How do the Termi's have different horse, I mean a gap that wide. I understand 10 horse, but 365-390? Thanks.

[/align][/align]Wait why is that? I'm just wondering. If you look up specs for the car it's 390 bhp[/align]
