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.
