[QUOTE="xblitzkriegx, post: 16371465, member: 105608"] I see a lot of magazine times quoted in that reply. Nearly every car was faster than you specified, stock. The 405hp ZR1s ran high 12s at real tracks while the 385hp versions ran 13 flat. The L88 cars really did do high 11s/low 12s. What you dont see is that the mags from then spinning the tires through four gears. Time always marches on. It's realistic to expect cars to be faster than the previous generation starting around the 2000s. The base C5s were easy high 12 sec cars with a stick, all day long. Hell, the LS1 6M Camaros ran high 12s back then too. I would argue that mustangs ran high 13s in the mid/late 80s and again in the 90s with the Cobras. Sure, it was relatively rare but it was far from impossible. The ZR1 fell victim to old man hoarding mentality. I'm addition, I think the base models got a big power bump as well as getting the ZR1s tail lights towards the end. All that really made the ZR1 less important. Shame too, it's a lot morencar than people give it credit for. [/QUOTE]
