Yes, it is possible, but I've seen C5s with just intake filter, catback and stock gears (3.42s) running 12.8s. Then again Lightning trucks with just a pulley swap supposedly can do the same. Drag strip bragging rights are great if great handling goes with the package. Unfortunately for many vehicles' owners, this is not the case.

And bragging don't mean a thing unless you can back it up. No witness or timeslip........

I've personally seen a near bone stock (B&B Tri Flow cat-back only) Z28 go 12.79@112. Yes, F-Bodies in the hands of a GOOD driver are more than capable of clicking off a 12 second pass in bone stock trim.
