Killed a slightly modded '03 Cobra
I took the Brute out Saturday and met up with some buds in the fog. We rolled out to a spot and found some fairly dry pavement to play on. The Cobra has Magnaflows, CAI, ported TB, Predator tune and was on DR's. I had on the 31X14.5-15 QTP's. We got there and I did a HUGE burnout while he went down the track to check it out. I did a smaller one when he was doing his after he got back. We stage up and the flagger's arm drops. I'm holding at 2K on the brake, slam her down and release while the stall flashes to 3K. She kicks, spins about 10 feet, rocks back and goes. The tranny shifts at 5K to 2nd and I get a wiggle since I'm running the tires at 10 PSI. I looked in the mirror and see the Snake about 12 cars back start to pull slightly. I lift a bit early cause I can't see where the line is and finish 6 cars up. The Cobra was definately traction challenged and is getting some new DR's. I tweaked a lifter and have to address that before we go again. I expect it'll be a closer race next time.

You can tell when a car is 12 cars back and starting to pull ? If it's dry on Saturday I'll come out and let you feel good about your chevelle.

Cool, we can go after I get her back up and ready. She's down for the lifters and such at the moment.
