Can I take this to mean that yes, Stillen has worked out the tune-issues before sending out a press-car, or no, they have not, and work still needs doing?
Not sure if it was the same article, but I read 0-60 in 4.5 secs, and that's 0.7 secs quicker than the stock 370z previously tested by the magazine. 12.8 @ 113 for the quarter mile.

I don't think stillen had tuning problems w/ their press car, just certain ECUs.

The test car had KW V3 coils, Stillen rear sways, AP racing brakes (6 front 4 rear pistons), and enkei gtc01 19s w/ 10mm wider than stock (255 and 285?) toyo r888 tires.

The article did mention that they "predict better numbers are possible with less camber than what came dialed into the rear of [their] test car".

That should read 12.8 @ 113. 133mph would be insanely fast.

Agreed...but how the hell do they manage to only run high 12's? My Stillen SC 370z in Forza 3 runs mid 11's with slicks and around 520 crank hp

Traction probably. I should be running mid 12s but traction, I does not have it.
