Of course a stock V is only a low-12 second car! When you look at the average run from the fast-list on forums and magazine tests, it is a solid low 12-second car stock. Just like when you look at the average runs the 392 is producing on the fast-lists from various forums, the 392 is a solid high 12's car just like the Mustang GT and Camaro SS.
But you're talking about hero runs so 12:15 is not 11's is it? Of course it counts. These are runs in the hands of individual owners we are comparing no? MotorTrend, Car&Driver are not individual owners are they? You want to compare what MotorTrend and Car&Driver got for the shatpack to the V?
Shatpack Challenger
Car&Driver: 0-60 in 4.4, 12.9 1/4mile at 113.0mph, 4226lbs
MotorTrend: 0-60 in 4.2, 12.6 1/4mile at 112.3mph, 4235lbs*
CTS-V
Car&Driver: 0-60 in 3.9, 12.2 1/4mile at 119.0mph, 4268lbs*
MotorTrend: 0-60 in 4.0, 12.4 1/4mile at 117.0mph, 4292lbs
*auto
Manual to manual the V is 0.5 seconds faster and traps 4mph higher
Auto to auto the V is 0.4 seconds faster and traps 7mph higher
Now you see how foolish your statement in post #110 was. Furthermore, you specifically referred to
my V in that post. My V puts 515hp to the ground. Which shatpack does that??

Nope, wrong again. If you're going to compare hero runs, then compare them to
other hero runs. Don't compare youtube hero runs for car A to magazine tests for car B. I really shouldn't have to explain this to you.
