Well, I see a lot has happened in 24 hours...

13s from bone stock LT-1 6 speed FBodies is not unusual if you know how to drive. I had a Formula, not a Trans Am, so it was probably 200 lbs lighter. I did not have a full tank of gas, so that saved some weight as well. I guess next I'll hear that my 14.0 run on GS-C Goodyears with a 2.0 60' from a bone stock 2001 GT 5spd convertible is a record, as well. At any rate, I didn't say that GTs were not capable of 12s...not at all, my Pop has an 11 second 302 sitting in his garage. What I said was that Ford does not have a 12 second, fully optioned (that means Cobra R does not count) modular car without the benefit of a blower. That's all I was saying, GM on the other hand does...

As far as my 12 second runs with my 93 FBody, that took a LOT of trips to the track, good track conditions, a lot of help from a race engine builder friend of mine who taught me the art of drag racing and all of the sily little tricks that make a car run like hell. Ofcourse driving like a *******' animal helped as well - I swear I have a parts truck sitting in my driveway...heh heh.
