A good example was my first time out with my previous Mustang. I had a ProCharger, TFS heads, cam, 3.73's, GT40, etc,etc.
Anyway, my first time to the track was a very humbling experience. I pulled a 13.6 @ 110.
Granted I was spinning and it wasn't running it's best. And, well, my driving skills were pretty crappy as well.
My point is, this was an easy 11 second car and yet I was a full 2 seconds off. so should we be surprised at a 15 second Cobra? I don't think so. Is it capable of better times? Absolutley. Seems like sometimes we put too much into E.T.'s and forget about some of the other very important factors that come into play. I think driving skills play the biggest role in how well a car performs. And at the track even the best street drivers need to adjust.
It's a whole different ball game, especially when your leg is shaking so bad that you can hardly keep the clutch down. Let alone worrying about your launch rpm, light, etc;.
Just my .02 cents worth.
