One of my friends with an '03 Cobra is in. His name is Shelton. Add Shelton'03Cobra to the list. It has a new tranny setup but it ran 11.0's with the stock manual. He has a C-4 auto now.

This car still has the eaton and he has a different rear setup with upgraded axles and a spool. I am not sure if it has the irs or solid axle.

I am pulling big time for Ahmad and Steve (e55amgrocket), they have put a crap load of time and moeny into their sleds for this event.

LowPro, I hope you take your car out man, I would love to see you go at it with Jody and Charlie (10 Sec CTSV). I also hope one of the fast e55's goes head to head against the terminator, so I can post that on the svtperformance forum, two iconic cars battling it out at the strip.

Ahmad, Steve, and Jodi are going to burn that track down tomorrow! Wish I was there too but it wasn't in the cards for me. There will be a next time though.

Good luck everyone!

Sorry to hear you are not coming man, thanks for the nice words but like I said don't expect anything crazy... My car is just gonna get some baseline runs and we go from there. If it makes it down the track in one piece, I am a winner.
