I have seen a local MAX owner pretty much stock running a 14.8 at the track. David B. He post on here every once and a while. Very knowldgeable. I have seen the Hyabussa (bad spelling) run 9.87 @ 148mph!!!

As for the max, ya it is possible to beat them. ATX yep, Manual depends on driver vs driver ability.
