I agree with xgnxs the numbers are too high.

1. The ATS weighs much more, makes similar HP but lower TQ.
2. The times most mags have for the C7 are M7 times. As far as I have been able to find, the only A8 1/4 mile time by a mag was for a convertible and it ran 12.2 and it weighed 3506lbs according to C&D (3LT with Z51).
3. If the ATS-V sedan can best(or at least match) the time of that C7 vert, we can assume the weight isn't playing as big a factor as one normally thinks. Must be other factors influencing the 1/4 mile times.
4. My guess if one of the mags took an A8 Z51 C7 coupe and ran it, it would be in the 11.9-12.0 range.

I'm still sticking with 12.4 mag times for now for the A8 due to tires. Put the ATS-V tires on it and don't see why 12.1 wouldn't be achievable.
