Factory is 13.9 so...good driver and launch i'd def guess 13.6/13.7.


Factory doesn't use street tires, they use track tires. They use diff fluids and of course they use a new motor that is fresh out of the box along with premium fuel and a professional driver that has had weeks of lap time. They also get the best conditions for what the car will run. I would say he will have a hard time breaking 13.9 with a new used car. Cobra's definately have a diferent launch technique than the 2v's. It would take him a few runs to get it down. No way a Cobra feels sligthly faster than a 2v gt!!! AFR only make heads for pushrod motors and my cobra is definately an animal on the highway or rpms about 2800rpms. Lags below that since I have no IMRC's now!

Any weather below 65degrees is too cold to run for traction and humidity! My guess is it is as cold in NJ right now as it is in Albany, NY. Friggin cold with a never ending storm coming in!

Give me a break...

My car had 102,000 miles, and ****ty 255/45/17 Fusion ZRis, bone stock everything, and did 13.7. Thats launchin at around 3500rpms...Good drivers can def. get a lower mile car in that area no problem. Im no pro driver, and I ran that time with only a week behind the wheel of the car.
