This is so clear, 11.93 on the stock Goodyears. The above quote even talks about times with DR's being 11.49 or quicker. Why are people so confused? They stated they brought the DR's along to make sure the rear end and driveline can handle them without problem. You’re crazy, or ignorant, if you think the best time after running all day was only 11.93 on DR's. Its CLEAR, without confusion that these times were ran on 100% stock, off the showroom ZL1's.
maybe the lower times were just simulations...
