Look at the average times people are getting, that's a better indication of a car's capability.
And published times are corrected. I think that run corrected to a 13.2 or so. Still fast, just pointless to compare to a time that has had the correction applied.


Also, the non-stock rear tires likely affected the time by allowing controlled wheelspin
