Yes absolutely, he didnt have drag radials so that is the only way to come out nice and easy and hard.

Well, it would probably need to be a very good driver and running on drag radials.
I've seen stock Cobras run 12.8s on the track with drag radials, but they mostly run 13.2 on street tires.

Then he really is a bad driver, or the dyno was incorrect.
