They have gone 12.3 bone stock but this is not the norm! I have seen more go mid to high 13's @109-113mph because the are so hard to launch! This is why I said they don't do to well in the 1/4 but are beast from a roll! In stock form the IRS in these cars make for a alot of wheel hop and spin without the proper suspension setup.

Stopsign32v, trust me, I'm having a hard time believing it was a Terminator myself. It sure as hell looked and sounded the part.
Just for ***** and giggles, I tested what RPM I'm doing in 4th gear at 75 MPH. It's just over 4000 RPM. I guess that's a better launch point from a roll.

Story makes perfect sense except your gears lol. I have 4:10s as well and I shift into 5th at 115-120. Never have I went WOT in 6th. I don't go fast enough to even think about hitting 6th. I would check with the previous owners and see if that transmission is stock or if you have 4:56 gears or some ****. Besides that... Good kill!

i opened this thread, read the story and expected it to be a joke... as it turn out the only joke is someone who races in 5th gear at 70 mph and is short shifting into 6th..... at 4300 rpm. Wow. Go get an automatic.

I have alot of respect for the Termi's and ive driven 3 in the past. I dont think they are crazy fast stock or very impressive but then agian most wont be stock and have pulley, exhuast, intake and tune which make it a beast. I have 4.10's in my Z28 and manage to hit 115-116mph at the top of 4th gear which for me is 6000rpms.
