Impressive runs!
You need to get that 60ft down. That cobra driver didn't seem that great. 119 trap, but a 12.6??? That is stock Territory for an 03/04 Cobra for the most part. Well, stockish.
I think you will need a bit more to beat a well driven pullied Cobra.
Sorry to hear about the control arm. My CHE's went out on my 07 GT after a few launches, then hitting a small bump in the road after.

I pulled a 1.75 and 1.76 the time before this one with my same setup, minus 40whp
Either way, you cant go wrong!

HAVE YOU EVER TRIED LAUNCHING A CAR WITH 500+ TQ?
It's not the IRS.
You ALWAYS have something negative to say about a poor running or a cobra that runs slow.
Intervention - Work on that 60ft, and add a couple more things, and you will be in the 11's.
That Cobra owner does need to learn how to drive. Sounds like when I ran my 12.4 with a bad clutch, granny shifting in 95 degrees. On average, it should be a low 12 car with your average driver.
