Question Why??????

pcoghlan Paul, WHY??? It proves nothing, you are abusing the car, you could loose control going down the track and hit the wall. This has happened. Your insurance with not cover racing. Your car don't have a full rollcage. Some track have a 12.5 1/4 limit without alot of safety protection. They do throw you out of the track and say never come back. I have seen cobra run 14.0 to 9.83 at 138 mph. This is a stock body car, street driven with a jag rearend. I have seen 6' wheel bars on a Viper power cobra and watch them get bent on a run. Car and driver where OK. Your car with street tires will run about a 12.5 to a 13.7. It depends on the launch of the car and weather you idle off the line or BONZA off. Traction is another thing. Slicks you hook and leave, street tires you slide all over the place and can't hookup. Cobra where not ment for 1/4 mile racing with Jag rearends, Solid axles are better. IMO the car doesn't need or deserve the added stupid abuse. Rick L.
