It's ALL in the set-up, (well most of it anyway). My Ute runs 11.82 @ 113 in unopened form, the motor hasn't been touched with the exception of new valve springs, (that's allowed in the "rules")... Race weight (incl. driver) would be around 1640 kgs for mine, and the ute in question would be well over 1700 kgs.....
Take 400 or 500 kgs off these weights and you'll be in Cobra territory. This is the sole reason I'm building one of these things!!!
