I thought your time was like 11.87. Did you subtract something to get it to 11.81? I remember you saying something about subtracting when looking at our time slips during the day.
The modded Cobra's (600HP) best time all day was 12.8

Damn, Pete...pretty lame video. At least you could have showed the entire 1/4 mile with the e.t.'s and mph. Nice runs though. I wish I could have been there to see what I could do with the Evo stage 2 car.

He said he had (ecu/headers/exhaust) work done and was @ 600 HP before we started. His car sounded great but he would spin his tires and the car would hop. This was his first time at the track so he seemed to be missing his shifts done the track.
We had a blast and can not wait until next time. Mike, when you get your cooling mod installed maybe we can go back this summer so I can make up that .12 sec's.

I think the Cobra had 600HP based on his trap speeds...he couldn't launch right and I noticed he didn't power shift either. I recall his first run being high 12's with about a 122 trap, but his 60' was pretty bad.

Hey Bro,
Had fun today. When we get the cooling mods installed maybe we can hit the track in a few months. Email me that stuff I asked you for before you left the track.

Hey guys, bad cobra driver from the day here, just wanted to say a few words...
First, thanks for letting me attend your event, it was a LOT of fun and a great experience, good crew of people
in my defense, I'm pretty darn certain my car didn't perform up to its potential due to driver error and inexperience... cobras really aren't as crappy as I made them look today... and who the heck said I was running 600hp??? maybe 550 at the crank, but certainly not more than 470 to the wheels
at any rate, my car wouldn't hook in first gear the entire time, so I had to shift out into second around 3-4000 rpms every time, and that wasn't until quite a lot of hopping as was said
as for the video, i missed second in that video, and I pulled up at 100mph through the gates and ran a 13.8... so yeah, that could look bad against an E55 running 11s, hahah
but, in the 12.6 I did manage to run, I still trapped close to 120, so I'm sure she has some ability in there somewhere, I just need to learn how to drive
peace folks

No LSD yet. Agree it is all about the driver and I still need lots more practice. Both cars were running neck and neck most of the day (EVO & K2) with the K2 having a slightly higger trap speed every run. I assume that means that the K2 was putting more HP & Torque on the pavement for it to be moving our 4300 pound sedan faster in that distance. I may be wrong but it seems logical. (It would make sense since I have my primary cats removed and Mike has his still on).
Chris it was greating meeting you yesterday and your Cobra looked awesome. Jason had mentioned to me that your car was pushing 600HP (not rear wheel) so I am sorry if I was wrong. With your trap speeds, I can not imagine that car not getting into the 11's.
Sam your stock car was running strong and Chris from NY with his Renntech ECU/Pulley bested at 12.02. Jason with his C32 (Renntech ECU/Pulley) ran a 12.5 (Awesome Run).
Paul with his new 2005 E55 (800 miles) had never been at the track was getting into the 12.4 area.
Our CL55 was running 12.2's all day and it was the heavier of the cars.
It is great meeting local "nuts" and having fun with our family cars
BTW - Rick and Kim enjoyed our group and we have a open invite whenever we want.
Most of us had our suspension set to "C" mode with traction on and "S" mode for the transmission.
Thanks everyone for the great turn out and next time we will try and get a dedicated person to video complete runs.
