High 12's are possible in a six speed car with lots of practice and the right weather conditions.

on the last day NED was open (oct 31) i finally got into the 12's ran a 12.999 @108...on my 2000 m6

my car was bone stock and on the stock runflats, paper filter and all....nice cool day and a pretty sticky track. 60' was 2.03..

normally i ran 13.1-13.3 all day long with it...was nice to punch a 12.99 last day of the season ...

inside the car video of the 12.999 run

Read the dealer's brochure. They'll make it sound good.

Well, let's see now. Get "fresh" gas from the gas station , 1/2 tank (not too full, not too empty ), rear tires ?, Track preperation?, driver experience?, weather conditions?, driver condition (did you have a day lke I am having today ), etc.

How about 14.5 - 12.5 seconds .

Anymore wide open questions??

Go to the track and find out. You'll have LOTA fun seeing what it'll do.
