13s from a turbo back, upped boost, and FMIC? That's impressive.
What tyres and suspension?
Also I'd imagine your average modified genesis to be pretty mediocre in the quarter. Nego camber + stiff springs + stiff tires would all work against a powerful car putting down in a straight line. I know similar format sports cars always run surprisingly mediocre times here in upsidedownland. It's part of the compromise of car setup.

I don't remember. I want to say Steven has slicks/ race tires that he puts on but I'm not sure. He's on coil-overs, not sure of the brand.
the "stage 3" includes a bigger turbo. idk which he's running. it was probably a 19t, but he's bigger now. I thought that pass was with a different setup though.
the 2013s are running that power and more torque with intake/exhaust and a tune. People don't post many 1/4 times. 275 do fit and work, slicks would work, but I just don't see the upcoming generation running many 1/4 passes. Hell, I'd have to drive 2+ hours just to find a regulated 1/4 track.
The 700whp Gen is in Floyd's backyard. He doesn't run that daily but he's shown what it's capable of.

All I can say is I took that post straight from the 1/4 times thread. Was written by Steven though.

Yeah, quarter mile times are not really the point of a GC anyway.
Hmmm, pretty big difference between running stock turbo/street tyres/stiff coilovers to big turbo/drag slicks/soft suspension. I conditionally congratulate the guy

Though in reality:

I'd say somewhere in there add "Put the damn thing on a diet." Because seriously, 3,300lbs? that's too damn MURCICA for it's own good. Also add in a good clutch and some transmission mods. (dog gears maybe?) I guess the big question is, are we taking "and keep it streetable" or are we going to all out strait-line speed and nothing more?

The 700hp car is a beast. 
Low(ish) torque for longevity. Using math to make the HP happen at high(ish) rpm's, Go fast and don't grenade your tranny.

Are they actually running 1/4 mile there? Not trying to be too funny, but seriously the times coming out of there area always insane. That thing looks like it had an intake, exhausts, and some decent tires. Many many N/a mods?

yes, 1/4 mile track. at first i thought it was n/a but i looked at the video a few times and noticed the nitrous fogger nozzle on the air intake by the throttle body.
there are other videos of this car racing another '13 GC 2.0 and both are running mid 12's.

According to the NHRA website, Puerto Rico International Speedway is an NHRA sanctioned track.
there are three quarter mile tracks(one is closed) and two 1/8mile tracks on the island. taking into account that the islansd is roughly 100 miles long by 35 miles wide, there are plenty of places to go drag/circuit racing.
