Not Ranked
12.9 ET in the quarter for the Cobra??? Something wrong with that number, to much wheel spin maybe, a driver who doesn't understand the launch techinique, something wrong. 12.9 is pathetic.
I know several run of the mill small blocks that can easily do better than that. My buddy in Hawaii runs a nicely modified 302, typical build. AFR heads, single carb, Ford racing type cam, not at all radical, freshened up OLD and tired 302. And he has only run the 1/4 a few times, hardly an experienced driver. BFG tires as well, so he's got NO traction. Even he run's 13 flat.
Gimme a break, 12.9? And it's a Shelby? Put it on the trailor! Man that is embarrasing!
Heck I ran 11.9, a full second faster, with my ERA, on Bill Boards, built by ME, with low compession (9.5 to 1), flat tappet cam, small dual carbs, built for the STREET!
