My ERA 427 side oiler ran 11.9. On street tires. The FIRST time I ever ran a drag strip and barely had a clue.

The problem for the Cobra is two fold. Experience with THAT Cobra for the launch, the launch is everything. Which brings us to #2, the traction, slicks will help, but there not "all that".

I currently run slicks, I can spin them through three gears and can't go full throttle until I'm in third gear, about 80 mph. If I had a 1,000 horse power or 600, it wouldn't make any difference if you can't hook it up you can't use it.
