No, but someone here was begging for a 13.00 run. I guess this covers it.

They also went 14.29 at 100.xx mph in the V6. I'm not crazy about the times but more excited with the trap speeds, thats were the real potential is.

14.3 in a base model is pretty good, especially with a weight of 3750 lbs. Still faster than the base mustang and challenger

I'm really digging those trap speeds by both cars. I think w/ some drg radials and tuning out torque management and some basic suspenions up grades your looking at mid 12's in the SS and 13's for the v6 on the avg.

Did they do this on the track or with a gtech meter, iphone app?
EDIT: Here is what the article says about their testing. I'd still like to see if anyone can break into the 12s using track timing equipment. Quote:

Bah, this doesn't count. I'd like to see REAL 13.0 track times on a base model. GPS FTL.

That's engourageing and pretty much the same way the other mags calculated 1/4 mile times and trap speeds...
Meh, it's better than a poke in the eye. I'm sure we'll see a real 12 sec run.
