There was a good little article in SCC a few months ago talking about how other mags come up with all of their times and what not. They will correct times based on weather conditions and other variables that are out of their control. I think it is all a bunch of BS. The thing I like about SCC is they post the average of their 2 best times, they keep their **** real. One thing I read that I liked was that the new viper "only" ran a 12.4, that means I only have to make up about .8 sec before I can start ******* with them. 
Oh, and I think a stock C5 only runs around a 13.0 - 13.2.

car XYZ was sooo slow! you call yerselvs dirvers? In ABC magazine they said it
goes wayy faster. You guys are wacked."
Their reply was " We do NOT adjust our times. What we run is what we run. We
do, however, post Humidity, Track temps, Air temps, and anything else we see
fit. We don't give you some hypothetical elapsed time, we give you exactly what
you would get if you were at the track with us."
I think I can respect that, plus I like their style of writing.
