"Cobra Combat" in April MMFF

[flyn high again]

Has anyone else seen the 1/4 mile shootout article in the April '05 MMFF? Six '03 Cobras are compared in the article.

Richard Lelsz [Strictly Performance]
[email protected] [KB 25 lbs/250 shot nitrous]

Sean Kelly [M.A.S. Racing Development]
9.83@137 [2.4 KB 21 lbs/50 shot]

Don Walsh Jr. [Walsh Motorsports]
9.92@134 [KB [boost and nitrous?]]

Bob Clayton [Tuned by Rick from Amazon]
10.06@133 [KB 23 lbs. No nitrous]

Jim D'Amore [Nearly 4,000 lb. car, IRS]
[email protected] [Ported Eaton 20 lbs. 75 shot]

Chuck Riley [Stock trans, Drag radials]
[email protected] [Pulley, JLP tune and CAI, live axle, throttle body,?]

It looks like the KBs are popular with these guys.

The article gives a page to each car and concludes with the thought:

Just think how remarkable these Cobras are--a few bolt-on parts and tuning will give you enough power to push a 3,700-pound car into the 10s. Now that is simply amazing.

11.57 @ 126.65? Is that correct? Must be some serious traction issues. LOL! I should get my copy of the mag soon. I'll have to read up on the shootout.

11.57 with Nittos555r's on Eaton. Has 8.8 but still six speed.

Traction issues are mentioned with Chuck's car. They say he had to walk it out of the hole and then hit it or it would just go up in smoke. Chuck posted on ModFords and mentioned that he has run faster than 11.57 and that he was having tune problems that day. He expects 10s with his new tune.

I said still six speed because all of the other cars in the class had auto and Solid..
