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.
Ive done research and found most of the times they publish to be pretty dead on. I havent researched the cobra (cause I hate ford) but from my understanding, you dont heat stock street tires before a 1/4................ Prove me wrong??

I also could not care any less about road racing.
I would never call my car a ricer. No 4 banger here..... but no, I was simply stating that a track requires more skill... and since you state you are such a good driver maybe you should road race??? You know, put your money where your mouth is????? and why would you resort to threats? - [ For your sake, I certainly hope not]- were simply having a discussion about cars not who swings the biggest johnson....
