Well they really didn't want to smoke the clutch or kill the car (had less than 500 miles on it, not fully broken in) but the main issue seemed to be the torque management (even with traction control off it was still acting as if it were still on
) not allowing a full burnout...not sure how the magazines did it.
This particular C6 (well optioned) is not 150 pounds lighter than the average C5 for some reason, it weighs 3450 pounds with driver.
But you're right, if a mainstream car mag (not sure what kind of air they had) can run a 12.7@113 then in private hands the cars should see 12.4s easy.
