12.90 out of the FE powered Cobra? That was pretty weak. Cold tires, sluggish launch, sluggish shifting, and it seemed like the reported "sideoiler" motor was straining just to rev up; what was up with that... Could anyone tell if that guy was talking on his cell phone half way down the track? I don't even have 550hp and years ago ran a half second faster on my first practice try ever on street tires; and many others here in the 11s. Sounds like some blueprinting and tuning is in order followed by a reshoot of the entire video with ONE capable driver testing both cars back to back.
