My bet would be that it's turbo'd. This is approaching FD RX7 quick.

^ agreed. No stock is going nearly 13's while hitting the limiter (and novice driver for that matter)

I am going to guess he has the basic NA mods, intake, midpipe, catback and maybe some tunning plus a 55 shot of nitrous.

Damn nice times, not really FI times but possibly some tuning somewhere or something.

There is nothing "quick" about a 13/14s car

I think he's spraying it. One of his posts says he has a kit.

I don't think I've seen anybody show a 13 second slip with nitrous. This guy might do it.

Trapspeed should be higher than 96-97mph.

hey guys... most of you hit it right on the dot. basics k&n typhoon - which im looking into changing out - obx headers, agency power mid and cat back, and zex 55 shot... I could deffinately use some tuning but haven't found anyone and time. I can also see 13's with alittle more practice on the tree

I sure hope I can dip into 13's I've also heard it's more about your 60' time than trapspeed (givin you don't **** up shifting like I did) lol not sure though. just something i heard... I figure if I could get my 60' down to 2.0-1.9 I could hit 13's

Nice.
My 4 port AT should be down in the 14's. As soon as I can find some time to go to the track.
