GTS has the higher power so that would be the one to find out. It would be only a marginal increase. Im doubting one could match a 12.5.

Yeah, I dont think it would come close at all, with two seperate F6's having run 12.55, and 12.59. Only the WD427 has claimed to have beaten it, but I dont think anyone in the real world has.

Just found the C&V one on youtube, 12.52 @ 118mph, but Im pretty sure that was with a tune.

One of those hideous boxy plastic add on R8's, beat an F6? Surely you jest!

There's always a chance - I wouldn't be surprised if it has a lot less wind resistance than an F6. The front end is so ugly, the atmosphere would part itself as to not come in contact with it. :

It has an airbox mod, not sure if you wanted to count it, lol. But basically stock, yes. And suprising as it may be, the driver is female

12.39?? That's ridiculously fast for a stock production sedan!

....and yet totally irrelevent in our over-regulated, speed controlled society of today.
