I realize we are rat-holing into a Batman vs. Superman discussion but dragtimes represents thousands of enthusiasts and they post their best run of the day. I have not seen a stock M5 hit the E/T & Trap Speeds that R&T hit......

I don't think we will see a new STOCK 6MT M3 in the mid 12's at 115 mph on drag times (maybe at ATCO )
