You know Stone..i've heard the same thing about Cobras needing like 50 more hp or so than a LS1 to even things up. When you do the power to weight ratio it doesn't make sense, but like a lot of things in life...there is more than meets the eye I guess lol.
Greddy what do you weigh? I'm about 220 lbs. myself. I know you're a bit smaller than me lol

Ah, I've had 3800lbs stock weight stuck in my head for some reason. 3340 is a nice surprise none the less.
I hear ya man, I'm dying to see the outcome between you and MRT too. You've def got that car running much better than when you and I ran, lol. Still thinking you and MRT are going to be a close run though!

Our biggest problem is going to be traction...especially for Greddy lol. I can't hook from a 2nd gear roll right now in this weather, and I know Greddy can't. I told him we may have to do 3rd gear rolls if the weather is really cool lol

Best time was a 11.67@119.8 witha 1.77 60'. Couldn't get traction to save my life. I also weighed the car when I got back, weight was 3340 without me. Seems like its light, things ice removed are gutted trunk, no back seat, straight axle and no front sway bar. Also don't have any tail pipes right now either. So figure 3475 with me in the car.
Can't wait until oct 7th for the good track day. By then ill have my stock mufflers switched for magnaflows so that might pick up 1mph. Humidity was at 78% as well so hopefully that's lower come 2 weeks.

Yea, you fellas are going to have to be careful with that one. Just do what ya gotta do to keep those cars half way hooking and out of the trees, lol. If results in a 55 mph roll, so be it!

So far the forecast says 67, so if it's even close to that we should be fine for 2nd gear roll racing...well maybe not Greddy..I'll let him comment on that one lol

during the summer my car would always be fine in 2nd, if it's around 70 i should be ok. not sure how the 3.73's and 2nd gear will do tho since it puts the revs higher it might be more prone to spinning, guess only time will tell lol.
and yeah i'm about 135 soaking wet, it's part of my weight reduction so i can go fast LOL.
