I guess it just comes down to this, If you are so frustrated with this site that you can't help but continue arguing for the sake of arguing, then take a few days off. Got the www.mylittlepony.com/forums and relax a little.

Cus if you keep it up. You'll both be on a forced vacation.

Fair enough?

Like someone else said. Try a DA of over 6k

In the hands of a good driver these will be high 12 sec cars. A really good driver will proably be closer to low 12's. Won't see those times from a stock car untill the weather gets better.

I don't think we will see low 12' out of this car stock. High 12's is really pushing the car.

Real owners will see high 12's like the magazines have reported when they get some time at the track getting used to the new car, i don't know anyone that expects to get the top time out of the car the first time out.

My reasoning for my post is based on a few things. Everybody knows each motor will put out different power. Somebody will get a factory power freak and be able to drive the crap out of it in negative DA. Granted all the stars have to align for this to happen. It is possible. Probably 12.3+ is stretching it, for sure a 12.5 is possible stock.

I think the guys name is Jamie Furman and he drives a Z06 and Viper. Has run both of them stock under 11 seconds. Tons faster than the average times of those cars.

I agree with you. DA plays a big part.
