But I dont think he has broken into the 11s at the track....he has just..broken
But he has fun...and his car is feared.

That is exactly it! I know with my cobra it will never have a cage or drag suspension and probably will never see better than a 1.7 or so 60 ft but it is my idea of a real street car. (aka more power than the tires and suspension can handle)
Honestly I think if I had 300rwhp I would get in trouble with my car as I would be getting on it all of the time. Now I just blip the throttle here and there and get the same rush.

Do you own a Torch Red FRC and tremble every time you drive under I75 on Hwy 60 and look in your rearview mirror? If so you are suffering from what is known as Cobraphobia.

Exactly ! I have been preeching this for years.
Everyone seems to forget that what ever you can drop in your 60ft. times is double on the other end.
I built my suspension up long before I had any kind of power. Everyone always told me I was wasting money but yet my mesley 304 rwhp nets me 1.56 60ft. times all day long.
Now that I should have some good power with the turbo set-up I am interested to see how low I can get the 60ft. times.
