The high trap speed, 122 mph, is a statement of the horse power the car makes, it keeps pulling strong after it gets rolling.
11.90 at 121 mph, 2.1 second 60 ft time. HIGH geared as well, shift into 2nd at 65 mph, barely shift into 4th right at the line.

You are right, my 0-60 time is fairly bad.It is between 2.06 and 2.5 with normal standard road tires (Michelin Sport Pilot 285/40/17)
But according to our french drag regulations, If I want to race in the 12 sec class(or faster), my Cobra should be equipped with a FULL cage ( not only the classic single roll bar) which would make it ugly. So, I run in a slower class and it is the reason why I loose sometimes because I break easily my time index for my class and then loose by disqualification.
It is very sad to have to race "quietly" with a Cobra full of power.
