The owner of a '98 Cobra convertible agreed to run me. We lined up, his passenger counted off. My Nittos broke loose and I fishtailed, but stayed pretty much side-by-side with him. He was slightly ahead, but I was passing him. I was a foot or two ahead when we shut it down.
We turned around, lined up again. This time I got a better launch and pulled a car length ahead. And kept on pulling ahead. Probably got 2½ car lengths before we shut it down.
The road was less than ¼ mile.
He said he has run 13.2 @ 103 on slicks. He has an X-pipe, Flowmasters and some other bolt-on stuff.
He asked what I ran - I told him 14.1. But that was before I got my crank sensor problem corrected.
My mods against the '98 Cobra were a TH down pipe (in front of a stock exhaust), K&N. I was running the stock chip because I haven't gotten around to putting an aftermarket one back in yet.
