I know the cobra driver, also he killed a cammed 6.0l gto. He does 20 rolls and he counts ont eh higher HP cars spinning (they arent on a good tire) and he was accused of ending the race right before he got trained.....

To the cripple remarks-

Its not a cripple, first off. His car is faster than a stock LS1. My car traps in the 113-115 range and I pulled him by 2 cars, albeit in a pretty short race. I could easily see his car being a 108 ish car which puts him a little quicker than most stock ls1's.

I can't wait to get this beast to the track and get some times with the 28" tires and skinnies up front.......can you say 11's with just headers lid tune and tires?!?!?

Had a friend that had a v-6 stang. He spent like 8k on mods. He ran high 12s. No thanks. He saw the light and now runs a charged 5.0 in the 11s.

I spent less on my whole car and run that....

friend of mine w/ a v6 vert spent a lot less money than that and is quicker, granted much of his investment was in time/work(a lot of it went to getting a windstar intake on, first to fit it under the stock hood and first to put boost through it).

never said it was, but if you know what you're doing you can go quite a bit quicker w/ a little money. flip some shorties and make yourself a turbo kit and you could surprise quite a few people.

Good kill!

I call BS on anything near 360 rwhp. A 2-valve GT would have trouble hitting that number on a 125 shot unless it had ever other bolt-on to go with it.
