[Cobra #3170]

This is really all about the driver, and by the sound of it he probably should not be driving a Cobra. My Cobra ran 11.2 @128 mph at Detroit Drag Strip 20 years ago on old road race tires. The engine was the original iron side oiler and displacement was about 430 CID. The engine dynoed at 560 hp and was slightly warmed over with a roller cam and 1150 cfm Dominator but nothing super special. I made about 10 runs all within a couple of .10's, if I had drag slicks it would have gone into the 10's easily because I had to launch very easily and then roll the throttle on. (60 foot was 1.9) The bottom line, if the guy can drive he has a good chance of winning but it sure sounds like he can't drive.
