That's what I'm saying. I don't think Chevy just came up with a bogus number. But I do think they gave out the cars without passing along instructions for how to achieve the best times. It's making the cars look slow in all but the new MT review. Not that 12 is slow, but it's not fast enough to put it in the HC range which is where it's supposed to be. IMO, Chevy should have been more hands on with these reviews to explain the features. You can't leave it to reviewers and hope they have the skill/knowledge to get the most out of the car.
