What are things capable of running with an average driver? Sure they have 400 hp but they are heavy or am i wrong?

Yeah they are heavy. I think some guys were getting them in the high 12's with a 6 speed though. Kinda hard to get a lot of feedback on the cars right now because the tracks in the cold weather areas are closed.

I have yet to hear of anyone getting an '05 into the 12's yet.

They haven't been out long enough to get into the hands of really good drivers. I would say that 12.7's @ 108 should be possible in the right hands. 13.2's will likely be the average.

my buddy took his granpas auto out to the track and ran a best 15.2 with a 3.05 60 foot time!!!!!

needless to say traction was a major issue.

The times i am estimating will be 6 speed cars....Auto's will be noticeably slower. Torque Management is a bitch.
