Dr. Dirt I have raced 3 different stock SC Cobras at BMP at track events and a couple at Sunshine. Pretty confident they didn't all screw up. Like I said weight does make a difference. If it didn't guys wouldn't be gutting their cars. Look 12.845 with only 251RWHP in the 1/4. I'd say weight and driving make a hugh difference.
Of course weight makes a difference.You still seem to be missing the point. Your setup and the Cobra's are not the same. Remember we're talking 8 cylinders vs 4 cylinders here, not 2400 lbs vs 3800 lbs. Drop a V8 in an identical car as yours (or a 240Z
) and see if you can still hang.
Not too long ago, I had a '64 Falcon with a carbed 302, stock 3 speed tranny but it was stripped and weighed in little more than your car does. It cranked out a whole 320 hp. It ran low 12's like clockwork. Torque 'r' us.
