Has anybody seen this edmund's video?

The 1/4mi result is 14 flat at 115.6mph. Am I wrong or is that a very, very fast trap speed for a 14et? I havent seen any stock SS/TCs hit such a high trap speed. Its not possible is it?

 

Maybe it's a typo? But a 14 flat @ 115 would mean some serious wheel spin, in a car making the power to trap 115. Stock TC, 100-103?

 

that aint right!!! 115 in 14 sec??

 

The vid is incorrect, if you look at the article on Edmunds website (see link), it says this:

Edmunds typically has very slow times because they drive it as a normal person would and don't go for an all out time like other car mags do.

I wouldn't believe either of those numbers from them. Is 105 even possible for the average driver on a stock ss/tc?

 

i agree. i think c&d got around 14.2 @ 105mph.

 

That kind of trap speed is usually seen in 12-sec cars from my experience, maybe an 11-sec car depending on how well its set up. Certainly a car weighing what an SS/TC does would theoretically need to be making well over 350 fwhp to get anywhere near that...

 

Road & Track got 13.9 @104.0

 

Saw that vid a while ago, clearly a typo.
