My Cobra with IRS and a 3.08:1 gear cuts a solid 1.6 sec 60' time every run. Do not try to tell folks that IRS will not hook. I do not run slicks either. My 1.6 sec 60' times are on 275/40-17" Toyo RA1 tires (DOT road race tires).

I think most folks do not have a good enough tire for a launch (still you do not need drag slicks for 11 sec runs), they do not have the power they think (as-installed losses and lack of perfect tune), and they are not used to finessing a high-power car off the line.

I know my comments will make me popular, but as I've said before:

"The cheapest, easiest way to improve your car's ACTUAL (not bench racing) performance is to put on a good set of tires" - Then you have to actually go out to a track...
