A. The car has just came out and these mods were still fairly new.
B. As I remember there was NO TUNE. It was "stick a CIA on it, and he goes 12.6"
C. Hell a 2010 GT went 12.8 but the minute it was mention that he ran without the spare tire and the front sway bar, and a x pipe ZOMG !! He has super mods !
The point is that the driver is the biggest mod. I know the Camaro is more than capable running these times. I just do, and still question that particular time. Camaro's running these great imes now is not far fetched. But as others have said, 12's are not the AVERAGE times.

There definitely was a tune. I'm reading the thread right now.
No one said that guy had super mods; you just failed to disclose all of his mods to make it sound better than it was. I still think it was impressive but you failed to mention the other things he did.
I don't get how you can question that time knowing that you can easily PM LMR and they'll tell you what the car had considering they were using it as a test mule. Also, like I said, multiple other Camaro's have run mid 12's with very light mods. I don't get why you would question that time when similar times have come up with similar mods.
Obviously 12's are not average times as it takes a skilled driver to get the most out of a car. Ask Garagelogic. He was saying that when he took his GT500 to the track there were two guys there with GT500's who couldn't break 13's. Does that mean anything about the car? Nope.
