6000ft altitude. Bring your Z06 up here and it'll only run 12s probably. NA cars suffer BAD.
Here's some cars running at the track I normally run at:

Here's my Cobalt SS/TC running this last weekend:

13.8 @ 103 is good enough to beat all of the following cars that are stock/close to stock at this altitude:
- New Camaro SS
- C6 Vette
- LS1 F-Body
- LS1 Vette
- S197 Mustang
- Any SRT-8 Dodge
- Lightning
- New M5/M3s
- Evo / STi
The altitude has less effect on the loss of power on forced induction cars. Plus, GMs ECM architechture on the Cobalt Turbos is designed to try and compensate for altitude changes to a point. My car spikes 25psi and holds about 23psi depending on the temperature. You can't buy a faster car that's less than 5 years old for less money than a Cobalt SS/TC if you live at 3000+ feet elevation.

I am in the same boat...axles, gears, two-step and DRs (everyday tire) and for what. Asking for a dig race makes people look at you like you're fked up or something.
It just comes down to that is easier to roll race and show off your RWHP. No body has to worry about setting up the suspension so the HP can be planted or driving the car with some skill. All the money goes into making Hp.
Oh well...that is the new street racing

Only if you let it be... I'll give someone their low mph roll if they give me my dig. It takes a lot for me to even agree to that however, if someone wants to run me its MY race, if I'm nice enough (or if they were cool enough), I'll give them their race. If I ask someone to run, I ask for my race but I have to do their race.
Don't call someone out unless you are ready to run whatever race they might want.
If they won't do it, I move on. Roll racing is for the birds. Roll racing shows absolutely nothing about what the car is capable of, as well as the driver.. Absolutely pointless. Lets just accelerate real quick next to each other.
