Any Cobra owner that asked if your GT is a CobraI'm willing to bet has little or no driving expertise...lol

+1.

And IMO that's why you won. Based on your track times, your numbers are right on par with what a stock Cobra would run, except he could/would out trap you. But considering the weightdifference between you and a Cobra, at your power levels it would be a close race with a stock one.

Good Kill.

Yes, it is a Conservative tune. By this time next year, I'll have the intercooler and 9 lb. pulley. Btw, I've trapped at 111.00 mph, but with a litlle slower E.T..

Cool race, but what is more important is that you would probably be one of the best races for me on this board. Nice setup!
Maybe in your zip code.

Maybe in your zipcode to danyz. I see you ran a whoppin 1/10 quicker in the 1/4,but your 1/8 time is 2/10'ths slower than mine. I would own you on the street.

Post was not directed towards you my friend.
Point of fact is that my 1/4 was only .03 better then yours.
I did three runs, 1st was a 13.38, 2nd was a 12.99, last was a 12.85.
I guess I should add those runs were w/o nitrous.
No blowdown tube = no juice at the track.
My ignorance.

Yah, I have to say your numbers need A LOT of improvement for what your pushing. 12.88 on MTs with 4.10s. I ran a 12.70, with 3.73s on street tires and im not happy with my numbers i want to get into the low 12s with street tires. Gotta learn how to kick it and stick it man.

I've got 97,000 miles on her. I'm just trying to keep that original T-45 alive.

Agreed. I don't see you taking down a terminator unless the driver is bad..
