I had my 14 GT auto there same time running 12.4-12.5’s with Lund tune. ;). He was trapping 4-5 mph faster, but spinning is not winning.I ran one in my base 12 auto in 2014. He couldn’t get traction on the street. I toasted him from a dig. From a roll I would creep away from him. Base 12 GT are some light cars.
Was the father of a good friend of mine. He sold the car not long after and got a Corvette. Lol.
