I dont race for money, if that's all you guys do then I guess not. But if anyones just down for fun runs i'm always down, track or street. But that said I dont do any of that i get the hit or you get lengths stuff. If I lose cause i didn't bring enough I dont want any handicaps.

There may be some fast ones now but back then no. My car was also lethal on the street because it almost always dead hooked. It's all about the hole shot. Check this out
at about 1:00 there are a couple street races. The 1st was a "Termi" that got raped, the next was a friend with a Mach 1 on spray that left on the 2nd beep. I questioned him about it later and he said he had to jump because he knew that was his best shot at getting me. Both 4v's with power adders, both not as fast as me, so maybe they were slow.

Way back then when the motor was stock it went 12.0's at 116mph. No telling what it ran on the street but it launched a good bit harder on the street. Back then (2003-2005ish) most 03-04 cobras were running mid 12's around here, every now and then you'd find one that would run low 12's. Not many mods back then, built rear, 4:10's, suspension, FLSFCs, shifter, mufflers, h-pipe, 100shot, slicks and skinnies. NA with 228rwhp I went a 13.3 @ 104. Now it's got a built motor, stage 3 heads, custom cams, intake, more nitrous and a partridge and a pear tree.
