Thumbs up

Excellent points, Sky.

Alot of this reminds me of the post I put on here last fall about me racing the Big Bad SS Camaro at my local track. Heck, this guy was even modified with Lid, exhaust, gear, and I can't remember what else. I think he ran something like a 13.4 @ 105. I'd have to check the post/timeslip for sure, but the point is it was not an impressive run at all.

Or, go back into the 'Unit 5302' archives...I think there was a post about all the "LS1 Humpers" and the times that people see out of those. Everything in the bag from mid 12's @ 110 to freaking mid 14's.

Car's run different times at different tracks under many different conditions. Heck, I've gone 13.7's @ 103 one weekend and 13.2's @106 the next.

Final point, the Cobra has power - lots of it even in stock form. Imagine a s/c pulley swap, exhaust upgrades and some sticky drag radials...you're looking at a damn quick Cobra.

Give guys a chance to get used to these new beasts and I'll bet we see some very impressive timeslips out of them.

Take it easy,
E
