Top fuel dragsters are trying to go fast to make a living. That's understandable. However, I reserve this mentality for the "ricers" and for Cobra owners.

Actually, no, I take this back.....I reserve it for most cases. My buddy has a 2000 Z28 SS that he drag races....runs 11's, but needs a hairdryer and a shot of NOS.

It just an't me. Anybody can throw on a little NOS kit or even get a 4-5 psi centrifugal blower to add 50-100-200 hp.......but it really impresses me when someone gets 600-750 from a little small block that's naturally aspirated.

I especially 100% reserve this for Cobras. Cobras are supposed to be wicked little cars....muscle cars....vibrate your guts loose....big radical cams.....loud sidepipes.....5 mpg......Not a little "econo" car that idles like a Honda and whistles when it goes by.....

Just my opinion....everybody's got one. Tom asked a question.....I gave him what I thought.
