LOL. Uncle.
I do find it extremely funny that someone that has never taken a light on a track can whoop us all in reaction time (Mr. Trophy....if you need reaction time explained, let me know).
Oh well. Ya'll have a good day.

I also don't know a damn thing about 99 Cobras but it would be interesting to know how a car with under 350 hp went 11.6 at the track unless you are talking 1/8 mile, which is slow. I have buddies who have run at the track with slightly over 350 horse to the wheels and on slicks that only get into the 12's with a automatic.

But I think that 12.70 might have been a ringer car, so I generally use ~13.2 for an average LS1 time in good conditions, and ~13.7-8 for an 05+ Mustang. So yeah, about half a second apart in the 1/4. But the S197s have a mean new suspension (seen 60' times on stock tires in the sub-1.8s range), which makes them a driver's race with an LS1 from a dig.
