But a 12.48 in a bone stock C6 auto is impressive.

The bone stock C6 Z06 record stands at 11.40@124 right now I think, a far cry from Motor Trend's 12.0.
But again my runs/claims are not about the manual cars, only the automatics.

Nice time, definetly impressive! Something that does come to mind, where's that time slip? Making a big claim of making the fastest stock automatic corvette run ever, and the lack of timeslip, really makes me think twice. Nonetheless, good drivin'.

No scanner so this is taken with a camera, a little blurry but it gets the job done.

Marc,
Nice times.
One of the local guys was talking about this car at Atco a day or two ago, and for some strange reason, I suspected this might have been you.
Congrats...the car is flyin' for being stock!
