Pass Time 12.38?

Watching Pass Time tonight (9:00pm Central - not sure if this particular show is a re-run or new). There was a fella with a 2000 C5 (perhaps someone on here) - said it was his first time down the track, and totally stock.

Put down a time of 12.38 !?!? Couldn't have been stock or couldn't have been his first time out - One of the two - RIGHT?

Not truly stock, or the time is wrong.

Alot of people refer to a bolt-on car as stock because the motor itself isn't touched.

Figured it had to been motor after reading "typical" C5 1/4 times in the Perf/Results section. Makes sense Ryan - didn't think of that angle...

I'll believe anything from a 12.8 to a 13.2. Anything significantly slower or faster, either needs a new driver or might be hiding a mod or two.

I appeared stock, but who really knows.

He did make a GREAT launch though.

I saw that also. Didn't get a good look but I thought car appeared to be a FRC or a Z. I could be wrong.

There is no way a totally stock C5 ran 12.38. Had to have some significant bolt-ons.

Never heard of a totally stock non-Z06 C5 running that kind of ET.
