He got pulled like a bitch right from the start, BEFORE any shifting even took place. That C6 was WAY faster than the pullied Cobra regardless of the driver and in my opinion, and many other people's, it should have been a much closer race. The driver had something to do with it, but unless he was starting in the wrong gear, driver mod wasn't the only issue in those races. Perhaps he was in the wrong gear AND sucks at shifting. Either way, I was glad to see the C6 run away from him.

The answer to that is Spray it!

I don't see eye to eye with Evilways all that often, but he's dead on the money with this post. Think I'm gonna save it for sig material for some guys I know on our local SVT site.

600 rwhp twin-screw cobra.....mid 12's @ 12x at the strip. What's their solution to getting better ETs? Turn up the boost for more power.

Driver mod!!! Ive seen pullied cobras run high tens... and with the same exact setup down to the tires seen low 12's.

We will never see a fair race because conditions change and the same driver can't be in both of the cars at the same time. Even though that driver in the cobra was wayyyyyy horrible. Like real bad.

^^ I agree, didn't respect C6's till I ran a full exhaust lid one. I got him but he put up a good fight. Good kill OP
