99-00 Lightning vs 94 Cobra

You are correct, the Lightnings are at 360 hp at 440 ft/lbs of torque. Usually stock, I have seen times range from 13.5 to 14.2. IMO, the weak link in the stock set up is that when you punch it from a rolling start, it won't downshift from second to first above 15 mph. It got so I wouldn't race unless from a standing start or above 35 or 40 mph. A chip is a must for the 99/00 L's for this and assorted other reasons.

A chip and filtered L would have given you a better run but looking at the times you post, it looks like you've got it goin' on just fine.

P.S. Get ready for the 01's, 380 hp, 450 ft/lbs., 3.73 gears, larger MAF....
