Wow. - That sucker hauls. What year is it? I have been looking at those lately and thought they were mid 11 sec cars. Yours flies! Just bought a Jag F-Type R and love the AWD. Maybe I need to look again!

Awesome ride and numbers! I just picked up my first Audi a couple weeks ago, RS5 Sportback. I can’t imagine how awesome the R8 is!

Exceptional runs for ANY car, and yours looks as great as it showed it can run. Congrats!

Moving out!
Thanks

dam very nice car. moves out for sure.
Thanks

Damn. Nice runs for sure. Specs on the Cobra other than auto and C heads?

Thanks , it's a home budget built car in progress so far . TH400 and T-trim blower , needs suspension badly

Not all but most are (the rws is rear wheel drive). I have a supercharged 2017 r8 on meth, it moves out.

Yea I know they made RWS version rwd . What's your supercharged R8 1/4 mile ?

Great looking car and nice runs!

Thanks

Thanks , it's 2017 , gen2 R8s are much quicker then gen1 R8 . Congrats , F-type R are awesome cars too , I raced one in my GTR couple years ago , they move from a dig like crazy , I didn't know they were AWD until I run the one at airport event . It will be hard for you to go back to RWD cars after you get some seat time in AWD car

Thanks , super happy with the car so far . I drive it too much LOL . That V10 engines screaming behind my ears to 9K is something else , such of enjoyable and fun car to drive . RS5 are very nice cars too

What size blower is on the cobra?

Thanks for the kind words on the Jag - yeah - it hauls too. It would put my Shelby and my Caddy V in the weeds in the 1/8th. That AWD is crazy!

Last question - is your car the v10 "plus" or the regular V10? I am still in awe by how fast your car is. I really want one now... ;-)

Awesome - and congrats again on such a great ride.

2017 V10+ model with 610hp

I run this one at 1/2 mile airport event in my FBO E85 GTR , I didn't use LC in the GTR as I didn't know Jag was AWD , it took me a while to catch up

Wow...That GTR flies too! Those Rs are 11 second cars in good air.

Congrats again. The v10 plus is really an amazing car. Post a pic!
