At the US-41 Dragway (~600 feet AMSL), my best time (stock 1990 except for a Borla cat-back) was 13.1, trapping @ 113.x mph, reaction time 0.6. (low 70s and dry, but DA = ??) So... I guess if it had been a 0.0 reaction time, potentially it could have been low as 12.5 sec. So, their 12.8 "feels" to be in line with a stock 90 Z, methinks. That part of the article might be OK, I guess...

BTW, RW torque on my Z at that time (and now) is shown below. If my eyes are correct, it is ~ 330 ft pounds, which would translate to around 385 ± at the crank for a stock LT5. 300 ft # is in line with an LT1/4 at the crank. Big difference.
