The Cobra fish tailed because it had a touch too much rear Bias. I set it up like that because we use left foot braking on the autox course and with power on, if it didn't have rear bias it would lock the fronts too soon. During the 0-60-0 I kept increasing the front bias on each run so that the last one is almost a straight stop. I plan on putting 315x30x18's on the front which should improve the stop quite a bit. You are right though, we made all our time in accelerating 0-60.
The Boss Mustang had some pretty bad tires on it (bias ply race tires that were very hard) he would have been much faster on modern tires.
