Default 12 sec camaro in the mustang mag?

Does anyone have the article online of evan smith running 12.8s in the stock ls1 camaro? I have searched and searched, here and with google with no results. I have some people that don't believe its possible, they are ford guys, so I figured this article from a mustang magazine would be the best to show them

Thanks guys!

I really appreciate the effort. Although, these morons are absolutely retarded, and I'm afraid if it's not their own magazine (muscle mustangs and fast fords) they will discredit it.

Another reason I like this article SO much, is because they also say that mustang owners will be getting a face full of tail lights if they race an LS1 camaro. I just think that's badass.

WellI'm not gonna participate in Mustang bashing since I own one..however I will admit the LS1 is an awesome powerplant. All that said I read that article but I couldnt begin to tell you what year it was even printed...

But I'll agree those times are possible(mostly because people in mags like that can drive pretty darn good)

Well I'm not trying to bash mustangs, they are bashing us. I want to prove them wrong. We told them about a basically stock ls1 car my buddy has with a muffler and no cats running 12.8s this past weekend, and they said it had to have a stroker kit in it

My car went 12s with only a lid on my first time ever driving it at the track, I had it for about 1 month when I went, so it's not only mag people that can get it done.

But lets keep this thread on topic, all I want to do is find the article

^^Yup

It's cool though, because we will get our crown back once the new LS3/LS9 Camaros hit the street. (hopefully)
