Tinner, from what I've heard or read, there's been only one other Cobra, here in AZ, that has been able to come anywhere near the 10.74 I ran and that was Greg with his KILLER Roush 427 SPF. He always goes in the 10's with a soft launch and hits over 130MPH, which is 10.0 territory with a hard launch.


OK Karl, thanks for this piece of information, it kinda puts me in a bit of a fix though since I have never driven a car with this type of power before on the track or 1/4 mile, but I am willing to take it out for a dance, thus what do I need learn and do, where can I get a copy of the rules, explanations of the terms and suggestions for the correct launch protocols, and appropriate attire?

Bein' a fine upstanding gent n'all I want to makes sure I get it right the first time, so do any of you fine upstanding gents have any suggestions of where I should go to get this information, not the rude type though? tin-man
