Hi CW. I am traveling (now in Nashville, off to Cinci) so I hadn't started the Ferrari forum discussion. But I now have: http://www.ferrarichat.com/forum/sho...d.php?t=312330. Will be interesting to see what they say. -Tom

I realize that I'll never be Big Daddy Don Garlits, Richard Petty or Mario Andretti (or a Danica Patrick  ), but 14's and/or 15's with a 2,150 lb Kirkham with 600 +/- HP? 
Is someone "sandbagging" or what?

I don't know, but I think we may be having our chain yanked.
Tommy just joined the Ferrari forum today. I would have thought as a Ferrari owner he would have already been a member there.
Guess we will see later this month.

Granted, experienced driver, drag specific set up, gearing, tuned.......but a reference point. The R & T 1/4 mile test had the 458 @ 10.85
" Of further interest is CSX3198, which was the only Dragonsnake buit with a 505 hp, 427-cid engine. This car was sold to Haar Motor Company in Worcester, MA, for NHRA competition. At the 1966 NHRA Winternationals in Pomona, it set the A/SP national records at 10.86 seconds and 127 mph results."

I'm certainly starting to feel that way too.
I joined this circus before I got my first Cobra.
If I was to race, I would ask Cobraphiles BEFORE Ferrari desciples.
You would probably get a more honest answer from 'your own kind'.
Just ask the guy in the 355 who only saw the rear of my SPF on the 57 South.  Ok, ok, that wasn't fair, but it was in my SPF with a small block.

Taking advantage of the disadvantaged?
