One more mistake, not even timeslip-related...since when do WS6 Trans Am's have 245's? Nice try. Cobra's are fast, but apparently they're even faster in your mind.

no one would call your bs if you would just show some proof , and you say you have a witness as your proof . so anyone can get a bunch of people that will say you run 8s in the 1/4 big deal.

ok if he elavation was -1000 and he completely powershifted the crap out of the car, i suppose its slightly possible, i did 120 @ 2000 ft but thats with catback, offroad pipe, tune, 2.93, cai, and somehow only 458rwhp... so it would have to be a super factory freak along with more than perfect conditions, and an even better driver than john force, however its slightly possible.

2.93 is a 4# pulley, stock boost is 8lbs (8+4=12).
