Nah....I call shinanagins! And if a Challenger did run a 12.93 he wasn't stock, lol. Haven't seen one run faster than a 13.4 yet.

I saw that vid on another board and I believe it was a stock G8 with a CAI that someone just introduced.

It wasn't stock lol. CAI and a tune maybe and more like it. I ran a 13.3 at almost 106, tuned, headered, and CAI. 13.7 is the best we have seen stock and all the planets and stars were aligned for that, lol! They are mainly in the flat 14's stock.

I know, I was saying it was Tune Times car, not trying to say another car had done it.

I've driven that particular car on a number of occasions. when it was stock it ran a 13.4, tuned it went 13.1x (Matt, the owner is great at tuning, not the best driver) the car has gone 12.0 with a 100 shot. Now that car has LT's and a Vig in it, and it's completely ridiculous on the street. On the spray i would bet an 11.50 @120+ is about right (with him driving lol.) I really love that car but I have another year on the TBSS. but that GMS and my gm card points is VERY tempting .
