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.
It was not said it was suoermods, but people aacted like running without a spare or a front sway was like a MAJOR modification to the car. Hell I never run with my spare...why the hell would you ?? Front sway ? Yeah I do not do that, but basically there was a weight removal, and a xpipe. Oh LCA's. basic basic stuff. Hell 2 of the things did not even cost money, and it was a uproar here.

As to that run well If the guy did it, fine. It just seemed suspect at that time, and I was not the only one to cast doubt btw. But it is what it is. Do I think a Camaro could do it now with the same mods ? Oh yeah I do. Why ? Because tuners have "Learned" the car, and the testing per say is done. So now its just up to the driver.

The Camaro is very capable. I see great drivers down here easily breaking the 13 sec with there's and min mods. The same I see Stangs breaking 13's with just a few more mods. And no, they are all not F/I. Sure, I'm F/I and can run a 12.2/6 on a good night, but heh I was lazy :P I took the easy way to mods
