yeah i get into 5th on the strip also. getting 5th in the wet easily means you probably did get a 126mph terminal as limiter in 4th is about 120ish so to be in 5th its a high speed.
that orange corsa gets 1/4mile in about 118mph. that maroon astra also runs slower terminals than you do.

doubtful if you were into 5th gear as thats 120+ terminal being in 5th. you need to get back out and do it in the dry. i think the times will suprise most people.

why does it matter that it doesnt look special? it obviously is to get 126 in the wet. ive spent thousands and only manage about that in the dry. specky's tigra get about 130mph and does a 10.7 so youve got something very special on your hands, might not look it. but your pockets arent as light and do same speeds as totb cars etc. suttons corsa turbo got an 11.6 @ 126mph so thats the territory you surely will be in if you ran it in the dry.
get back out to the pod and give some pain.

Id say its not possible to run a 126mph terminal yet only do a 14 sec run.Not possible at all.

it is.....
I've done 1/4miles in the past at about 16secs and 118mph 
I am highly sceptical of John's trap speed though

Depends who manufactures the software really doesn't it?
Wallace Performances phase 2 may differ from EDS phase 2 etc... that's just an example by the way.
