    How is this possible? 11.99@88 MPH in the 1/8.

    With an 88 MPH trap speed, he should be running deep into the 8s.

    I don't have a timeslip, I just saw this guy run a few times. Every time would be high 11s and over 85 MPH trap speed.

    It was a Civic with a turbo and nitrous.

    Thats still a horrible launch.

    11.99 1/8th = ~18.5 1/4th.
    88mph = high 15s with a good launch.

    Are you saying a stock GSR should run 88 mph in the 1/8?

    That's about 20mph faster than I've seen any stock FWD run. Hell, stock LS1 f-bodies don't trap that high.

    I was comparing the 88mph in the 1/4 mile.

    that car by far doesn't suck I would say major traction issues....if it hooked up it would be over 90mph in the 1/8 which is good for 11's@120 or so in the 1/4

    D'oh. I guess I'm just too used to seeing "OMFG stock tegs run 10s at 180mph" posts and leaped to conclusions.
