Great job on beating the driver not the car since many stock cars are in the high 12's@108-111mph with good drivers, but again great job. I post many links to stock block, stock trans, cobras running low 10's with 5K-8K worth of mods.
The most popular Cobra owner that you might identify with is Allen aka Broke7 who raced Chris's EVO aka "The AMS EVO" that is on srvidz.com and streetfire. His car has run a 10.5@133mph with 5K in it. In fact if you watch the video of him and Chris...Chris wins, but doesn't start to pull until 110mph and his car is bad as hell!! Allen has now run a 10.89@127mph with just the blower on pump gas and will be in the 135mph+ range with his 75 shot of nitrous again all for 5K!
Don't start slamming the cobra there are many more coming with TT kits and most will be in the 700rwhp on pump and 900rwhp++ on race gas.
With all that being said what do I drive? A 05' Black Tarmac EVO, so you know which car I like better, but Cobras are freaking bad!! Good run and it's always fun to beat a V-8!

The track prep here is terrible and the 4wd guys have a huge advantage. Most of the stock cobras here only just break into high 13's.

NO, you beat the driver! If car A traps at 102mph and car B traps at 109mph car B has more power. Like you said he couldn't put it to the ground, but that is not the car it's the driver. He is just a better tire, a better laucnh or shift away from beating you.
Nothing against you it's just potential is in the trap speeds. Given the trap speed you can see where the car could run in perfect conditions.
Again good run and keep beating the V-8 guys.
