brand new cars and probably noob drivers.

Still a street car at 12.5 is pretty damn good. Specially stock.

12.5 is very respectable especially if the guys just picked up the cars.

im guessing huge dicks. i know of workers at some dealships taking customer cars out on joy rides when doing "service" to these ppls cars...this is straight from an employees mouth. ****s ****ed up i wouldnt be surprised if this happens more then this aswell.

"seat time" LMFAO kidding me? lol

ITS DRAG RACING! You mash the gas and press the little paddles. and let the cars overkill computer system do the rest

a pro drag racer vs. avg joe could probably only sqeeze an extra tenth from that car just from reaction time. thats it i would think

QFT! still pretty fun to be on the strip every once in awhile. if anyone's curious there was a GTR that was hitting 11's stock at sac raceway a few months ago so whoever's hitting 12s is just slow driver haha.

i expected more from the gtr.. i thought the corvette gets high 11's stock? i hear if you put drag slicks on the vette you can hit high 10's stock. isn't the gtr supposed to be faster than the vette?

It could depend on the track too...people who go drag at infineon raceway rather than sac generally hit higher times due to higher wind and the upslope toward the end of the drag strip

Yeah really, thats more like it. F if i'd spend that much and not be able to hit 11.9

you mean some drag strips actually have character? like an slope!?

oOO! how about a turn!? do they have those?




My neighbor always tries to get me to go bracket racing with him at Infineon LOL i always have to find an excuse.
