My car was driven with a .025 reaction time in auto using launch control. So there isn't much technically remaining - besides the fact the DA was high because it was super hot and humid, I had 3/4 tank of fuel and 42 psi in my tires.

Beyond that - you're right on the money.
EDIT: YOU can see the time in the video. You need a nice computer screen to see.

Thanks for the reply. I just know there is more potential somewhere, just on a better day. Lower temps, more miles on the engine, etc etc. I know my best run is 12.6 at 111 with my 335GT tuned. and it weighs 4000lbs, plus I'm 218. I have about 400 to the crank. So I'm sure the new 550 can hit 12 flat stock with better variables.
