I ran a 13.2X @ 105 back when I was in NC. I only had a lid, catback, and a K&N. Hope this helps some.

FWIW... that 1 second reaction time doesnt mean anything... you can sit at the light for 10 minutes and you will have the same times/trap speed..

My 01SS A4 ran 12.96 @ 108.8 IT WAS NOT COMPLETELY STOCK

The mods: Free air box base cutout, K&N ( no power gain), MAF...that's it !!! Stock tires, stock converter, stock 3:23's, stock everthing else.

This was at Carlsbad...and the track hates street tires (2.0 60')
I was impatient I made my 1st pass at around 700 miles.... and it took me awhile to get the launch right.
With a bone stocker, properly broken in( atleast 2,000 miles) and launch technique perfected on a bone stocker I'm sure I can get a very low 13 ..but a 12 totally stock ....hard to imagine...maybe at the fast NJ tracks( E-town)...I heard of some running 12's bone stock there ..but not in CA.



When I added Hooker LT , ASP pulley, and interior delete I ran 12.50's @ almost 112 !!!! If I could've got a better 60' I 'd would'da been in the 12.40's for sure. Stock cam, stock tires, stock converter, stock gears...I thought that was pretty fast. Dynoed 355 / 361 TQ- it was a little freak.

Before I went to C-Bad I took it to LACR and ran a best of 12.95 @ 108.5 every pass but one ( 13.003) was in the 12's. In fact I ran atleast 4 runs in the 12.95-97 range - and I have 'em all on video !!!! Those were the days.

I've seen two bone stock Z28s that ran 12.9 and 12.8. Both were automatics, both were 2002s. Both at MIR, one of them was this year. Pissed me off when i'm stuck at 13.47 100% stock.

Something must have been faulty with the clocks because a stock LS1 automatic IS NOT a 12-second car. Makes me wanna laugh everytime I think about it.

there is a little "trick" you can do... it isnt necessarily cheating, but it wouldnt be looked highly upon...

if your talking H/C speeds (low 7s/high 6s) it could knock off around 2/10s.....






im never telling

Bone stock 2001 Camaro SS at Virginia Motorsports Park, with a DA of –1300ft I ran a 12.90@108mph cutting a flat 1.90 60ft on the stock F1 Goodyears. It happens in the right conditions. Same car a week later with just a set of headers and lid ran a 12.60@110mph once again 1.92 60ft at the same track.

Threw in a 3500 converter and went to MIR and ran an 11.87@113mph with a DA of –1500ft. The car only had the spare tire and jack removed and weighed in at 3480 (190lbs)with me in the car. A set of 17in BFG drag radials on the stock wheels and it hooked a 1.59 60ft. Dyno showed 326/344, pretty stout car and it was reasonably light compared to fully optioned cars.


Quick Reply: Stock a4's in the 12's???
