No reason an FE powered Kirkham can't run in the low 11's on a prepared drag strip.
I ran mine on a totally unprepared 1/8 mile track having to soft launch it and was consistantly in the 7.40's and crossing the line at 95-100 MPH in 3rd gear.

I think it would be nice to stop off in Ohio ( just for practice) as it is on the way towards Vegas and run against Jack since he now runs in the 9 second bracket and that’s without his nitrous injection. Of course Jacks main advantage is his car is Chevy powered.

Honestly, what's the point of posting a youtube video of a RED Ferrari that crashed in Florida, when the OP has a BLACK Ferrari in Washignton DC?  Totally unnecessary

To add a little levity to an already useless thread that has been consuming people's time.
Have another Marlboro, drink another cup of coffee, and take some Midol. Sorry my post got your panties so ruffled.

Car and Driver estimates mid 11s for the Ferrari. Easily in range of a decent Cobra:
http://www.caranddriver.com/reviews/...lia-quick_spin
0 - 60 appears to have been tested by a number of magazines at 3.2 -3.4. Also well within the range of a Cobra. It could be very close.

Levity is a good bowel movement joke. A crashed Ferrari.....not so much.
This "useless" thread has many pages of posts in just a short amount of time, so I think you're in the minority.
Would you rather discuss the real versus replica, big block versus small block or how about my "hoped for" next set of magnesium wheels will unlikely ever be made?
There's always a good "What tool did I get for Christmas?" thread by Patrick.
