Not with a 5000' plus DA they sure aren't. Sea level or even good air is a whole different ball game. My track is at 2300' and usually has a DA of double that. A stock S197 is lucky to make a 13.8 or 13.9 and there are more of them at street legals than any other car. Not every one of them is a driver fail but don't get me wrong, a lot of them are. Modded, well it depends on whatever they have done, like anything else.
The few Terminators that ever were at the track weren't cocky that I met, and beat up on a lot of guys that were. I just find your average pillar gauge equipped S197 (that's still naturally aspirated) that thinks he is hot $hit getting shut down repeatedly is good for him. The $hit eating grin ends quickly replaced with am angry peel out of the staging lanes entrance and head for the highway run.
Some people just can't go somewhere and try and have fun, lol.
Of all the 197s With the large "Giant Turd" monikers gracing the front fenders, my all time fave is the Military kid here who spent close to $5Gs with Panhandle Performance for $600 worth of Bolt-ons from Summit (Pypes Axleback, are you F'n Kdding me, they even hung it crooked) and blazed his way to a 9.13 1/8 at 81MPH, while losing to a bone stock 2011 V6 'Stang... He passed the booth, hit the rear return road, and straight out the gate to the highway. LMFAO
