And its like 4 miliseconds faster if driven right? I mean it already makes almost 100 more horsepower and definitely alot more torque. But one of the main things which gets it the 12.7 is its 3.73 gears. So honestly, i dont see this car as a dominating car for what its equipped with. Better gears and way more torque and horsepower and its 4 miliseconds ahead of a barely track ready car that makes much less power and isnt meant for drag? Just my 2 cents.
Where the hell did you get 4 milliseconds from?

I wouldn't call the Z a track ready car.....not without an oil cooler. I have youtube blocked at work, so will someone else post the 5.0 vs M3 video by MT? Thanks
