exactly but keep in mind on 95z28ss day the best they could do was a 13.8 and he got it down to a 13.2. thats all driver. HOT ROD's pass was on a different day, different track, different car(maybe?).

if you read the hot rod article, they said it was first 30 some degrees out and second it was not a drag strip it was done with a gps, as i said 50 degrees a good cool down(because that car literaly was not sut off all day) id be confident to say 12.7's are no problem. also the one thing that i notice is that the torque managment is very noticeable in the new ss, with some efi live tunning that thing will go like a 425 hp car should

BTW, it is no where near summer yet.

guess is the driver...

and yes we are near sea level

All I'm saying is these times will probably be the norm this summer and much to the chagrin of novice 5th Gen owners who think they will just take a spin up to the track and pull a 13 flat at 110mph pass. The SS as it sits in stock trim looks to be a difficult car to drag race.
