I'm not a good driver either.
how come my 450rwhp Cobra has taken down 430 rwhp LS1's....and I'm not a good driver

Jeremy has a 10 bolt bro...you won't be getting any time slips from him anytime soon.
I'll be happy to share mine though whenever I make it out to Ennis and all the bugs are worked out.


P.S. - Have a good weekend.


what does a 10 bolt have to do with time slips? he doesn't need 1.6 60ft's to run a good number with how fast his car is... Cobras IRS aren't that strong either but 460rwhp ones can still hit high 11's at 1117-120 with a 1.8-1.9 60ft.

As nice as that is for you to stand up for your friends it was pretty out of line, and really unwarranted. If I wanted to **** you off I'd have you trowing your own laptop out the window by now, so chill out. Also, though I'm sure your time slips are very impressive they would do nothing to help your argument that your friends car can run similar times/traps. I beat my friends 408 car from a roll that makes more power than me, but from a dig he would DESTROY me. I'm also 4 for 5 against the fastest N/A 6 speed vette in TX, but that's not cause my car is faster. Sometimes things just happen on the street, not saying your friend didn't win, I'm just saying he beat the driver not the car. Enjoy your weekend as well,

Zac,

Do you remember what jays cobra made that 1st night I ran him? Wasn't it like 460 or something like that? or was it less than that? Just as reference I walked away from him pretty hard but that was way back in the day I don't know what these cobras have for mods/technology now.

LOL...I know what it takes to get into the 9's.

a Big Block with spray having trouble getting into the 9's ain't doing it right.

There was a 6sp car local that went 6.3's local on spray, made about 680 to the wheels. 6.3 right at 10.0-9.9 right? so an auto with the same hp seems around right (auto with stall robs a lil more) This is bench racing at its finest but same stick car with a glide/th400 would have gone 6.0's and faster than the 9.8 quoted above.

I know more than you realize about getting a car into the 9's/8/'s or even 7's ace.

Given the fact the car was full weight (You don't find many F-bods full weight running nines) I'd say that's impressive. Not that it matters I know I'm right seeing I have experience with both cars, and you don't. Also, that quote says 9.6's not 9.8's. Huge difference champ!

Yeah that was funny ****, but yes things have changed a lot since 03-04. Many Cobras run 11's with less than 1k in mods. (Properly driven) So do many cam only LS1's.
