The best source is magazines?? WTF
Just look at what they said the c6 z06 et in the 1/4....11.6-11.7 @ 123.6 mph according to your pals at motortrend.
Tell me how the ***** is it when you put a GOOD driver in the same STOCK Z06 you shave half a second off that? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dQdR3WV9tLk

Or at least a flat 13, thats what i trapped and i couldnt get below a 2.0 60ft, also my first and only time at the track with the car.
I dont know whats so unbelievable about a car that traps that high stock hitting low 13s or high 12s when it hooks. Hell stock subarus hit 12s and they trap 104 mph only. Even though the magazines say they are much slower then that

Easily 12 second material with a better 60ft.

Those sound like new 5.0 times, which would make 5.0 vs 6.0 a drivers race, which would make sense with all of these threads and real world outcomes and multiple people hitting those times.......naw **** it, if its not in a magazine it CANT happen!

12 Second Club
alright, look Bubba, i am really not into doing a pissing match, since i drive niether of the cars in question, but u really should step back and look at the things u have said. Naturally, i like me a nice LS1, had a TBSS with an LS2, and with my wife driving and 94 degree heat, not sure of the rest of the track conditions, she went 14.1 ac blasting, and the car was AWD so u can imagine the wieght. THis was the first pass she ever made down the 1/4 in her life. AC blasting rockin to alanis morsett when she pulled into the shutdown, now tell me how u think a 12 second time slip, in some cool *** weather, in a 6 speed goat, totally stock, not the fake stock u talked about, isnt possible. Nobody is saying its the norm, as i have alot more track experience then the average racer, since thats all i really do in my off time. I have seen 1 or 2 if the weather was right. U have to admit u set urself up when u DID infact bash the interiors compared to the mopars, then later say u have no experience with them. Basically people are saying, to go off what u know of f-bodies as gto knowledge is retarded, as they are australian cars, we stole, and are AMAZING and nothing like any other late model performance car GM has other than the G8, which go figure, is actually the next gen of the same car in australia. U also cant tell somebody to give u proof of a stock 12 second pass then when they give u a list u automatically say its basically not good enough, then expect anybody to take u seriously. Im not defending anybody here, just makin observations so dont go all crazy on my ***. We all know that the new 5.0s are fast and i cant wait to get back from afgan land to get me some, they are nasty lsx hunters for sure!

My sons in basic right now. Thanks for the volunteering Bubba. My son is a bit different than most kids... he chose to go Psy Ops so he can help interrogate suspects and learn how to use psychology in order to kill badguys: VERY inconsistent with how psychologists use it in civilian life. lol Airborne Psy Ops FTW!

I think i will enjoy it and my long term goal is to get into the D.E.A., i wanted military police but they said it is so full from the economy going south and people turning to the armed forces so i chose Generator repair since i am pretty good at working on stuff and it gets my foot in the door.
Im sure your son will enjoy it and im equally sure you will be and currently are proud of him.

Ive got a full bolt on T/A......ive raced quite a few bolt on stangs like yours and never ever have they put any lengths on me. In fact they are normally a pretty easy kill.

At that Jason can vouch for the t/a race i had at his house against the full bolt on car i raced, do i know he should have beat me... yes and i believe there is something causing the car to be down on power but the fact is that it is a full bolt on and stalled t/a, and no i did not spray him.
DA for last night at TRRP in Gilliam was 2106 @ 10:30 when i made that pass
corrected per drag times...
Stock and Mildly Modified Naturally Aspirated Engines
13.112 @ 102.558 MPH
