[Excaliber]

I don't see a valid reason to doubt Tommy's profile and posting at this point, no need to get all paranoid you guys.

I ran 14 ET with a STOCK 302 (air pump, catalytic converters and all emission controls as well), the Excalibur, longer and heavier than most other Cobras, nice car but SLOW. So the timing method for the Cobra in question here is certainly suspect.

Most ALL Cobra's are in the 12's, high or low, even with near stock small blocks and worthless traction. A slow Cobra, not common, would be low 13's (13.0-13.1). Getting into the 11's, however, certainly takes some serious horse power, decent traction and at least a few runs to get the hang of drag racing.

10's? Traction is a very serious issue at this level. Can do, even with moderate traction IF, your running some very serious horse power AND a light weight Cobra (like a Kirkham or an FFR). In that case the the last 1/8th mile is everything.

But 12's? Pfffftt, with one arm tied behind you back in a Cobra, piece of cake. It's a long haul from 12.9 to 12.0, by the way.
