"Where do you guys get this stuff?" It is called experience. And mine includes drag racing a 670 HP manual transmission Mustang on radials, DR and slicks. A car at this power level is a handful to drive and VERY difficult to get consistent ETs from. With a manual trans it is even harder to do.
You should re-read my post I did not say the someone could not ever run a good ET with a stock car... What I said was that it would be hard to do it consistently... I have highlighted the important parts. I even noted that the ZL1 with bigger tires, more sophisticated suspension / electronics and less power running through and automatic transmission has a hard time running the same ET everytime.
BTW If my credentials are not good enough you could always look the "The Baron"....who I was agreeing with.

Might want to note he beat a modded GT500 that with slicks and suspension was "only" running 10s.

BTW the best mod these cars can have is the "driver mod". |
Not sure if my car in the first video proves your point or not. I ran two back to back passes at low twelves even with the car coming of multiple passes on a summer day. The cars has gone 11.25 bone stock inc tires and will run consistent low 11's with dr's. obviously the zl1 with an auto is going to be more consistent but its potential best run is way behind a gt500.
