DO I think it will...just depends on how hard someone is willing to run their car. Look people pretty much anything is possible...just happens that posters on here leave out details alot of times to make their story sound more impressive...or they exaggerate....a 12.2 becomes 11.99 etc. The key will be $$$, time, brains, the and willingness to break stuff. Anyone with all 4 will be able to do things most don't think are possible.

But yeah, 12.4 @ 110 on a STOCK f-body is NOT possible without GOOD tires and ALOT of weight removal...I knew a couple FREAK f-bods back in the day, 12.39 @ 112, and that was LT's, CAI, Tune, DR, cutout, and maybe gear...no major weight removal and no slicks/skinny's though...an no suspension work. Remove weight, slicks/skinny's, suspension work and the ET might be possible....that MPH might be stretching it some though...just depends on the weight.




Stock on street tires the new maro' will probably go high 12's, but I'd say, 8/10 people won't accomplish that. Throw on some DR and I'd say, 60-70% WILL. Question is, will a bolt-on go 11's without major weight removal?

FYI...fastest cam only G8 GT just went 10's @ high 120's. Get ready we are in for some FUN times!
