BTW, I'd like to see if you could run in the 11's on 20 INCH STREET TIRES. The cobra has.
GLad your car runs on pump gas.So does mine..
Mine run 18" STREET tires..Not drag radials..
Breaking a tko isnt hard if you dont have a shifter or it hasnt been upgraded.

My TKO took 4 years of street/strip(40k miles) abuse before finally giving 3rd gear up.The driver has a LOT to do with what breaks.A axle wont bend if you leave easy but will if you leave hard(driving style matters on breakage)..I have broken motors,a tranny,bent 3 sets of axles,bent a d/s,broken a alum flywheel ring gear,destroyed a few clutches..But stuff happens..Because i drive mine hard..
I can show you a 700rwhp cobra that has never broken one part.Why because he doesnt race it or beat on it..Again depends on the driver.


As far as 20's hey your car..20's are for the bling crowd..Not the speed crowd..
