Paul, Interesting, so out of curiosity how long is the "block" i.e. street length and at what point would one start to apply the brakes assuming one had reached upwards of 130 MPH from a standing start? The assumption being not trashing your tires for the entire lenght of the event. Understand I am not trying to be a smart ass here, just curios since I am still waiting for my Cobra to be finished and I will see if I can replicate what you describe.
Anyone else have a definition of enough power?
