Finally a time for you: Buddy of mine went 12.7 @ 109Mph last weekend on a new set of Toyo Proxy T1-S's. He is lightly mod'd, intake, DP, MP, Exhaust, PFC running 12psi. His first time @ the track with any car, BTW.
-- oh, BTW, I made two passes on my street tires the same weekend, also Toyo's and the car DID try to kill me.
I quickly slapped the ET Streets on.

so things get hairy, that's understandable but i know 5.0 that run 11.8 on street tires. it's driving skill since he keeps it in check pretty well. I've seen a Nova run 12.98 on Pepboys futura's ......... that still boggles my mind.

I went 12.1 @ 124Mph today on street tires. 60' left a bit to be desired (2.1's - 2.4's) , but I was either babying it, or bouncing it off the rev limiter, 45 degrees sideways, feet just couldn't find the middle ground today...
Tires were Toyo Proxy T1-S's, 255x35x18 mounted on 18x9 SSR Integral A2's.
