Most of the time it's all in the driver and a good set of tire's.

He is a professional drag racer but a whole sec. does seem hard to do. Maybe they meant 12.72 & 12.92 now that is possible.

you show me an ls1 that will run a 12.2 bone stock and I will show you a car touched by the hand of god. The 12.7 and 12.9 would make sense though.

Probably meant 13.27 and 13.29. That would make more sense being that it was a tenth faster with a better driver.
