Yet in the case of the 2003 cobra, they (as in the "pro" drivers you cite) from car and driver specifically, failed to comprehend that the burn out occurs BEFORE the quarter mile pass, not in the first 60' after the tree drops. If any of them could comprehend the concept of peddeling the car when it lost traction, they'd have run a very low 13 if not a 12. Yet they failed miserably and actually published an absolutely laughable time of 13.9 with a 110 or 111 trap. Such an ET vs trap speed reeks of newbie driver spinning out for an extended period of time at the line. Yet the cars they praise mostly are AWD platforms that will not spin the tires like mad or at the vey least have a launch control feature. Any time they drive a car that requires the least bit of skill to launch, they publish a laughable 1/4 mile time.
That being said, since you seem to think so highly of your car why dont you run someone on a course???? Why dont you put money on it too?..... Your car from what your saying should easily take all of these guys since it would be sooo fast in the straights...
Are you resorting to the ricer argument of, "...yeah well mines fast in the twisties?". For your sake, I certainly hope not.
I also could not care any less about road racing.
Good day.
