10.73 for me, but that's not nearly as quick as Hot Fingers. His SBC is really nasty, and naturally asperated. I was using a 100hp shot. My best, gasoline only, has been 11.15.

It Bites got into the 10s with his 540BBC, on slippery street tires and a guy named Greg... used to frequently get his 427 Roush SPF into the 10s, on MT drag radials. His speeds were close to 135 so his car would surely have gotten into the 9s if he'd launched hard, but he was too concerned about his IRS to do that.

I'm sure there are other, faster Cobras, and a lot that could be if their owners weren't worried about parts breakage. Me? Its my baby, but it is just a car and there's nothing that can't be repaired or replaced.

When I got into the 10s, I drove the car 75 miles to get there, and thankfully, 75 miles home.
