What was his short time on the 13.4 pass?

So an evo that traps the same as a Cobra will have a similar et? :crap:

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.

The ability to get power to the ground is as much the car's responsibility as the drivers. Obviously if the mustang were awd it would be much more likely to get it to the ground.

I can 60 ft better than that on street tires in my SRT4 on one of the worst parking lot tracks on the face of the planet.

This forum needs a BS flag.

Bragging on the internet is cool. Come up here and do it then. The local SRT clubs stock cars can barely break out of the 15's.

That's good for you that you are able to do that, but he wasn't.

This is dumb. Anyone who has a clue knows that Cobras are not overrated and that Evos are not even in the same class. That Cobra should not be trapping 109mph and should not be running 13s. You say you never seem them beat 13s, but I never see them do anything worse than 12.5s. Most of the time they're doing 11s and low 12s at no less than 120mph with no obvious mods. It takes everything I have to compete with these guys, but I usually still lose despite running 12.0-12.1. Please don't make us look stupid by trying to claim that Cobras are overrated just because you beat one with a crappy driver...
