IN>WU>KZ>depending on the drivers and if the opposing car is bone stock.  But t
IN>WU>KZ>Vette is faster than high 13's stock, and I'm pretty sure the Supra
IN>WU>KZ>Turbo is also.  And as for the Mustang Cobra, it would depend on the

IN>WU>KZ>low 13's. (ie. shorty belt, advance the timing).  Tell me, about how

Either that guy can NOT drive, or that engine is messed up.  Stock
Camaro's are nothing to this car...
