Something I've noticed with the Drag Race Calculators. The more horse power a COBRA has the further away from the 'numbers' of reality vs software become.

With Dennis' BDR at 289 rwhp the calcs are within reason, especially when you consider the 'one wheel peel'. Try running a 500-600 plus horse Cobra and the numbers get further apart. Most calcs will say a 600 horse car, say 2800 pounds, will be in the 9's. Darn FEW Cobras actually are. Rare to even get in the 10's in reality, regardless of horse power.

Funfer2, that bad boy rocks. SLICKS make the difference!

OH, and are these calculators looking at CRANK SHAFT horse or REAR WHEEL horse? They never say.
