Correcting 1/4 mile times is great for a racer that likes to compare what he/she runs from day to day, or from track to track (I did it regularly when I competed in the NMRA series a few years ago - kept a detailed log). But correcting them so that you can say on the internet that "xxxxx ran this, but it would have been this on yyyyy day" is rather....well......lame. No offense intended, I simply can't think of a more PC way of putting it. Sorry.

Even Smith went 12.69 at Gainsville in Florida, not Atco. He certainly can drive.

The quickest bone stock GT I know of went 12.58 (curiously enough) too. However, it will be fall before we see some good times from these cars. There were simply not enough of them out before the summer weather hit.

Over a brand new, bone stock GT? I would hope so! Your mods (the ones that actually increase performance):

Stainless Works 2" Long Tubes, Flowmaster AT Cat-Back, Cold Air Inductions CAI, SLP UD Pulley, Hurst Short Throw, RevXtreme Catch Can,
Dyno tuned at Stenod Performance Mustang Dyno
435RWHP 418RWTQ

Given your mods, I'm not sure what your point was in saying that you would "walk away" from a bone stock, extremely low-mileage 2011 GT.

I think most folks would agree with that. I know I do.

I hope everyone enjoys their cars - no matter what it may be.
