Default 04 GT vs. 99 Cobra.

Went to the track this weenend and smoked a cobra with a 13.6. With a bassani x no cats, magnapacks, bbk fenderwell steeda tri ax, eibach sportline and 285s on the rear, is this a good time. i was beating the 05-08 all day and i also beat a 01 camaro SS. my reaction time was a .61 and 8th mile was 8.9 is this good for the mods. some people were telling me that i had one of the beasts...what do you think

if those are your only mods then very nice times and kills.. as for the camaro ss u prolly beat a newb drive but a kill is a kill.. you sure u dont got gears or any more suspension mods? i am sure people are gonna ask for time slips.. but if all is true nice job and nicer driving...

I dont think he has Drag radials because I dont think they make 285 drag radials.

what were you trapping at at both the 1/8th and 1/4? good kills. it's weird the s197 that were at the track i went to this weekend were horrible drivers. they had the basic bolt on's and were running low 9's and the only one besides me that was in the 8's ran an 8.9.
