Post Too close to call. 01'cobra , 88' slow GT vert

I have to make a retraction. I posted in the forum that says something about beating a bullit. I said that I beat a 01'cobra but I had just returned from the track and had not looked at my timeslips yet. I thought that I edged him out at the line but it appears that he barely had me. ..... Heres how the time slip looks.

0.4871-----REACTION-----0.4965
2.1912----- 60 ft -----2.2783
9.7771----- 1/8mi -----9.7805
15.2279----- 1/4mi -----15.2622
90.14----- 1/4mph ----- 89.19
0.0437-- FINISH MARGIN ---
01'cobra 88GT vert
The time slip shows me as the winner cause he red lit a little worse than I did. I could have beaten him if I would of had a good run I have yet to get it all together on one run my car is capable of running a 14.90 I think. Cause I have run a 2.1 60ft and that is with the sway bar still in! My best 1/8 mi is 9.7388. So this was not my best 60ft or 1/8th mile but it is my best ET so far. This cobra was one sweet car I dont know if his car can run better than that or not cause he only ran the one time and was pissed. I would post the video if I knew how to download 8mm tape to a pc. On one of my runs I was lined up with a 9 sec vette dragster he crossed the line at 136mph and lost his front tire he went sliding about 100 yards or so into the field I also have that on tape. I ran out in the field to check and see if the guy was alright I couldnt find his car cause of all of the dust he stirred up I heard this bangin sound and I follow the sound till I found the guy kicking the sh!t out of his car. was just glad to see he was ok needless to say the car was toast.
I have just purchased some edelbrock drag springs. cant wait to get those on and I am looking for either a steeda triax shifter or a pro 5.0 shifter. I am having trouble hitting 3rd gear is this common. SORRY FOR THE LENGTH.
