I don't have any time-slips to prove it, but if I got called out to a knife fight to prove it......Our other members can back me up here, Am surely doubtful you can get a sub 13 ET with the MT car...For best results, leave it in drive and let the "auto" car sort-it-out for your best ET.
Here is a youtube in car vid of a stock manual going 12.80.

Family sedan in the 12 second arena...yeah, I will take that all day long....
 
Based on the slips I'm seeing this thread it seems like mid 1.9's is about all you're gonna get for 60' time huh?

Great times for everyone.

Thanks all. This 12.6 pass was probably at a -600~ DA. Car is bone stock to the paper filter and stock tires. Pretty consistent 60ft for me usually 1.93-1.95. Best ive been is a 1.91. .500 is perfect RT for our local track. Best I've been is a .501
 
I was there today. DriverMod's SS is the fastest pure stock that I have ever seen. His 1st run today was 12.74 and I didn't see later runs because I had to leave really early. That is one good running SS
 
DriverMod... Nice runs! I ran my 15 SS early this year when I got it.... Da was +1800 and car had 1k miles... I ran 13.0 every kinda way...I've been feeling like the car is a 12.70 now with more miles and better air. I'm waiting for a cool track night and see if I can match your .69 et... Thanks for givinging me a goal to shoot for!

What year is your SS?
 
I had to spend a bunch of cash to go 12.6 NA. Dang it. Nice times!
 
That right there is what you call "racing at a fast track". Nothing new in drag racing
 
Does anyone have this by the years?

It seems like the 2016/2017 is faster.
It could be the extra 2hp from the bimodal exhaust. :p


If the LS3 is anything like other LS motors there seems to be a pretty large (20 hp or so) difference between one motor and the next. Some get lucky with factory freaks!

Track prep, DA, driver/car weight (spare, no spare?), then even things like fuel (91 vs 93 octane, E0 vs E10) matter as well.

Then there's the driver mod. Launch style changes things too. Power brake or not? which mode to go in?

So many stinkin variables.

True that will make a difference, but I think alot of it comes down to launches as the variations in time are quite large. Especially from the MFG claims.
