I mentioned this on a different forum but
Flawed Review I smell bulls*it
Either those numbers are wrong 3800 lbs and a 122mph trap @ 12.1 with 469hp or that ATS has a tweaked
Something is fishy ...in those trap speeds
Notice the ATS V coupe review, granted it had an 6speed stick weighed 30lbs less and trap the 1/4 miles 12.6 @ 115 MPH, Motor trend 12.3 @ 114..Now there is the disclaimer that the ground wasn't level, however 7-8mph trap speed increase with a .3 decrease in time?
Food for thought the 2015 C7 Vette Convertible w/ 8 speed Z51.. 3506 lbs, 460hp, traps at 119mph at 12 flat..
