187 is possible IDK how long it would take but it is possible with his power level

I know a guy that had an 04 cobra with 490rwhp that hit 190mph (GPS confirmed) between Raleigh and Charlotte.


EDIT: (that cobra is now totaled) wrapped around a light pole in rain.

Correct more torque meaning quicker off the line and pull to the rears with the right tires. Increasing my speed and 1/4mile time, I'm guessing?

EXACTALLY! Often times its really hard to explain to someone how the gears help, but I think you have a decent understanding.

One thing to remember, with the gears, they will not show more TQ or more HP on a dyno. Because it is torque multiplication. Not actual torque.

Yeah 10-4. Thank you. Like a wise man once told me, " Last time I checked, I don't race dynos."

I've also gone through alot of wind tunnel testing, and have alot of pieces that improve aerodynamics, mostly under the car. Not to mention the fact that when I'm racing I'm only about an 1" off the ground (somewhere around a 2.5-3.5" drop)

I don't have many of it the way it sits, the last time I took a picture was when I got it back from getting the fenders shaved. I try not to come on here as much either, so I usually don't spend time taking pic's etc. I'll try to take some tomorrow, it's a little late right now, but I can PM you a couple of the ones I have.

Ironically enough, I think except for the lack of badges, wheels, and brakes, it looks completely stock when I have the top in it. I mean I know I listed alot, but other than that, I havn't really changed anything on the exterior, it's been working pretty well for me
