Sure capable but they typically do not with the average driver. Does it make you feel any better to always look at the extremel left of the spectrum? Stock 3/S is capable of LOW 13s/HIGH 12s but it is NOT a LOW 13 second car. History has proven that.

DragTimes? :lol

Like I said, it’s definately possible but it’s not the average. Re-read that statement again to try and understand.

Also, there’s a few near stock MID 12 second 3/S. I also went 12.8s with $50 in mods. Stock? No.

Do you have a GED or something?

Let’s try this again. On average, they have VERY similiar ETS. I’ll completely admit that the C5 has the nod but the “smoke” reference is not really fair.

I went 13.4 @ 127MPH too. I fail to see the point?

I’ll give you cliff notes on my posts because you can’t connect the dots:

Stock != intake/drag radials so why even mention it?

Find a stock vr4 and race the vette from a roll and end this bickering.

trap shows cars power… ET shows drivers skill… this is why shawn cant run 10’s with a ~130mph trap. :haha

No need to race the stock VR4 and the C5. They are both very nice cars. However the C5 is faster and noticeably so.

Shawn: A 12 second stock VR4 is VERY rare. A 12 second stock C5 is not rare. My friend who ran it has video proof. Hitting even 12.9 would be a .7 difference in the 1/4 for me.

Correct but that wasn’t my point. I just mentioned that a few mods can make a big different from stock power (even if it’s tires or free mod tricks like Supra’s removing headlight). Regardless, still not stock but some how some don’t grasp that?

> [@EJ257FTW](#):

I didn’t go to the track to run 10s. I knew the surface and me not wanting to break shit wouldn’t allow it.

What justification do you have for your $50K STI running stock STI times? 🙂
