It's a bit strange that a typhoon can pull 12.9 down the quarter but a professional race driver can only manage to get14.01 in it.

The HSV DTS is a kitted up clubsport for the track......If the typhoon had the same sort of modifications you would see no more HSV......it would be bye bye.....

Lot of the times from Motor are in next to new cars that havnt been run in yet, and the 12.9 you mention was from a car that has an aftermarket air filter if that makes much difference. So its not completely stock but close to it.
