I'm used to seeing between 12.8 & 13 flat. Traps are usally in the 110 to 112 range.

The worst I saw a magazine rep do was a 13.3@109. Most stock Cobra run in the high 12's at 111-112.

Personally, I've never seen one break into the 12's bone stock. And it's not like I run at a crappy track or anything. Same track that S8ER01Z ran a 13.1 bone stock in his LS1. But, the best I've seen (not even sure if it was stock), was a 13.0X or 13.1X. Otherwise, there's a guy I know that was only able to run a 13.4 with his '04 with intake, long tubes, ORX, catback, and tune. But, we all know he can't drive worth a crap anyways. Not to mention, he adds another ~400lbs to the car.

wow.. i thought they were like a mid-low 12.. no wonder i kept up with one... and people were giving me crap saying oh there was something wrong with it.. ofcourse a boosted car should run better at my altitude than an NA but if its low boost it still affects it almost as bad as an NA car.. good to know..

They're mid 12 second cars when driven properly. From a dig you'd probably be close *talking to Mishri* to a decently driven one until the 2nd half of the quarter mile.

I think I remember you mentioning a 13.1 run somewhere. That's still almost a half second off what they are capable of, and at a lower trap speed as well.

tspences post is just more proof that there are too many tards out there that'd don't know how to drive their car ANYWHERE near it's potential.

I'm not claiming that everyone will eventually be able to get the best possible time out of a stock car, but being more than 2-3 tenths off is kind of sad.

x11 billion.

As Tspence mentioned the track we run at isn't exactly crap... I am confident in stating that I could run at least 12.8 in a bone stock terminator at Cordova. If I run during the rentals (when we get within 100ft +/- of sea level) I might be able to do 12.5~12.6... I'm no Evan Smith but Cordova is sticky enough to pull your shoes off and the Terminator came with 275 width Eagle F1s which are a MILLION times better than the 245 width Eagle RSAs I was running on.

Some people shouldn't be allowed to own a performance vehicle and track it unless they take a test.
