God these newbs are annoying, those calculators aren't exact or you entered something wrong. Your car is good for a 14.8 if you can REALLY REALLY driver it, this is one of the more difficult rwd cars to launch due to it's huge tires and lack of power.
And no, you did not beat a g35 coupe, they have 280+ horsepower, up to 310 or so, depending on the year, and they only weigh a few hundred more than crossfires. People have taken them to 13.7ish or so stock, crossfires typically run 15 flat, even with people that drive well. I don't think you understand the difference between 300hp and 215hp (actually 240whp to 175whp), it's an entirely different animal. And don't say "It was an auto, so thats why" autos are just as fast as manuals these days, and more often than not faster.
I believe the rx8, because they have no ***** and zero torque, the gti is somewhat beievable, the ss is less believable, the g35 is not believable at all, unless he wasn't racing you or missed a shift or whatever other newbish exucses pop up. Be like firedup29 and come clean.
