It's kinda funny, I mean those RWHP numbers are already fairly easily attainable with a well-tuned Trilogy kit. Why go to all that trouble with a stroker kit and $30K extra for the same performance of a bolt-on S/C kit alone?

When I got the car I would say that wasn't too far off. Main issue was that whoever Motor Trend had drive the car couldn't drive, or they purposefully sandbagged the numbers.

More like 4.8 in reality, and I also got it to do a 12.90 on street tires and I didn't change much power wise at that point.

That being said my current 0-60 on street tires is prob high 3s or so based on 1/8 mile and 60' last time I checked
