I have not run mine enough to get it's true potential out of it yet. Probally needs a driver mod. So far I've had a bunch of 10.82 runs, 10.84's, 10.85's with best mph of 132. I think with a few more runs under my belt it should turn 10.5's .

Two of my Cobra buds have been running low 11's and high 10's. The last track rental we did a few weeks ago one ran a 10.88 and the other never hit 10's all day untill the last run..............................10.78. One has a KB and the other a Whipple. They are all very well matched cars making for great fun.

Unit, it would take a Cobra about 630 rwhp to stay even with a 520 rwhp C6 Z06.

3132 / 520 = 6.0

3700 / 630 = 5.8

So, while the Cobra here has the slight advantage in power/weight, it doesn't have the aero nor the gearing/rpm, making this a very good race. It is crazy how much weight, aero, gearing, etc. plays a role in a race.
