Maybe if we had a longer race I would close the gap. Our races are usually less than 1/8 mile.

If your race are less than an 1/8 mile you aren't giving your car a chance to catch him. And btw if you are doing a roll in an auto make sure you don't slow down from say 60-30 accelerate from 0-30 that way your trans WILL already be in first or at least downshift to first. That what a friend with a A4 T/A said helped him out.

Try shifting into first like stated before and run him again. It doesn't hurt to go out and practice either.

Driver mod or Maybe it's because the cobra is just faster...

Less than an 1/8 from a 30 roll, does it ever shift out of 2nd? Run him up to 120 or 130, then tell us the outcome.
