This is true. Brent Rau jumped in my car and ran a 12.02 babying it when I was running consistent 12.5's. I'm sure the spread would have been a full second if my car was faster at the time. It was making ~390whp in FWD mode at Elite way back in the day. Curt Brown weighs about 135 lbs, so you could probably knock off another tenth with him driving.
