Nice kill and nice times. I don't car if the guy can drive or not. You spanked him and that is all that matters. And great mental prep. That is what won the race for ya...good job!

I agree, but he didn't really beat an '03 Cobra. He beat the driver not the car.

I don't necessarily agree. As you know, there aren't that many STOCK Cobras out there running 12.5s and we at least know this one was stock(overstating the obvious)....and possibly a few mods. He would probably beat 98% of the stock Cobras out there. If we must take credit away from the lad or his car, give it to the A4!!!!!!! But, I think he and his car did a fine job.

Well I thought it was 2800, but I've seen aftermarket 2400rpm converters, so I would guess it's no higher than 2400 stock, and quite possibly lower.

That is terrible, but I guess it is healthier on your engine than say, 3000. I guess the dealerships do not want to deal with pubescent males destroying their new LS1's for factory fresh new parts at GM's expense. Thanks for the info, y'all.

TSP 85mm lid
TSP 85mm MAF
Holley Air Filter
FTRA
NGK TR55 plugs
ASP underdrive pulley
TCI 3800 stall.
That's it!
The car has a 12.3 in it. some lower control arms with relo brackets are going in next.
My goal with the car is to go as fast as possible with as few mods with no weight reduction. Stay tuned.

The comments about me beating the driver and not the car are true, most people "think" since they have a faster car it will go fast at the track. A+B=C
Theories don't work, and its not a perfect world, most of the time these guys run slower times with big mph.

There's a guy here in Orlando that has all the mods for his 03 and can't get out of the 12's... I'm not saying its the car, its the driver. Don't be afraid to challenge one of these things.
