If your questioning the times, check around the board because its possible. Was the run on race or pump gas? Did you do your own SAFC tweaking?
Just back the run up with another one, and get a time-slip.

im not defending him.... im just saying, because my brother has a bone stock STI and he can run 12.8's all day.... then i take a run down the track and get no better than a 13.3......it has alot to do with the driver... dont be mad just because he got a good time. just tell him to get a slip next time to prove it or since you two live close to each other. run em

I run 12.4 (113.4 mph) with my Evo the first time I raced it and without any previous experience, and the very next week I hit 12.0, and it wasn't an accident since I run several 12.1s and 12.2s...
...Just give this guy some credit until he shows proof of that run.

All the stock STI's I've seen so far were all in the high 13's/low 14's
