    At 454rwhp 474rwtq, to only run a 114mph trap is really low, isn't it?? Your ET will go down with better tires, but your trap speed won't pick up that much. I just figured your mph would be a lot higher than that.

    Heck, I ran a 12.29 s ET with a best trap of 116.25mph with 2 out of my 4 cats taken out on my exhaust as being my only mod. My best trap came off of a shitty 60ft. I can't be more than 380awhp (perhaps 390awhp who knows). With 450awhp and 480awtq, my car will run a 122-123mph trap speed given what others have run. Interesting to see that mph of yours. We need to line them up on the highway. I would be interested in seeing how they ran.

    With a half tank of gas and all fluids? ...somewhere in the 3400lbs w/o me in it. It's a 3395lb curb weight. I added heavy, 19" HRE wheels with 315mm wide rear tires. Those don't help rotational mass. My exhaust is modified, but nothing too much. They still have cats (2 out of the 4), so no straight pipes. Nothing else has been touched. My weight is probably pretty close to the stock curb weight + fluids/gas.

    Even if they are heavy, that is a rather low trap speed for such high hp. Then again, most Cobras usually trap lower than I thought that they would.

    I spun through most of 1st on that run. While I don't doubt that a run between our cars would be entertaining, I figure that after 130 or so that I won't be too much of a race. Weight and aero take over, However its not like I wouldn't try.

    Even spinning through 1st, your trap speed won't change that much when you do hookup. I am guessing that it is your weight and aero that are hurting you. If you want, just let me know. No worries either way. It's got some impressive RWHP numbers and looks great, that's for sure.
