Yes, the X1 may be a 14 second car if you don't launch it properly to "avoid breaking things." That's very different than saying the X1 is a "14 second car stock."

I don't disagree the times we get from folks are usually with them trying to peak things, that's why I take them with a grain of salt. You can criticize my launches or whatever I'm not trying to prove anything, just showing what happened when I went to the track with some friends. At least I'm trying things and posting stuff.
The thing I always hate about posting track times is people seem to think that time is supposed to represent something more than it does. I'm not the guy who only posts videos of his absolute best runs/times. I like showing what it did, probably not at it's best or me, but that's reality. There's people giving my friend flack because he ran a 12.7 in his M5 in that one run, like he committed a holy crime or something. Not all runs are good runs and if that's all you're ever shown or told about by someone they're a bullshatter.
