I assume that this was not at a track as no track will permit a run with passengers so you don't have a time slip.
Now bone stock means as it came from the factory with no modifications not even a tune for higher octane. My GT with me weighs 3700 pounds and has 300 hp at the flywheel. The Eagle Talon TSi weighs 1000 pounds less and has forced air induction. The AWD helps it lock up at the start. Low 12 for that car bone stock are fantastic I would like to see the time slip.
One cannot compare apples to oranges; there was a 1969 GTO at Street Legal night. He had historic plates so he did not have to pass state inspection. He too had forced air induction. At the green light his front wheels went two feet into the air and he ran in the 9s.
At this point in time my goal was to go 100mph; I did it but it took a near perfect launch, standard snow tires spin very easily. My shifts had to be made at 5800rpm. If I go for 6000rmp and the shift isn't perfect the revlimiter will kick in and I'm dead. As the weather gets cooler the car runs better I want to do a 13 before I start modifying the car.
Now if you really want to have some fun get a Top Fuel and beat this 4.42.

I am even more impressed that my ex boyfriend's 1992 Eagle Talon TSi (AWD, turbo) ran a low 12 (with two passengers--me being one of them), bone stock. No drag slicks, just normal street tires. Norwalk, OH... I'm there once a year for the DSM shootout.
