I thought for sure the Cobra was in trouble with 1000+ hp and stock wheels? Why have that much power and try to run with either street tires or drag radials? You need a full slick, larger than what would fit on stock wheels.

They wont play for me either, but from the looks of the other post it doesn't sound that good for a 1000hp car. 10.30's are fast, but there are eaton cars doing that.

it didnt look like that 1000whp cobra was beating that 475ish whp vette that bad?
Using the eye's good old depth perception it look to me that:
On the first run that Cobra was at least 6 cars lengths ahead of the Vette after being behind at least two car lengths at the 1/8 mile mark. The TT's finally wound up at the 1/8th mark.
On the second run the Cobra's TT's took much less time to wind up and he was about 10 cars lengths ahead at the end of the run.
That Cobra absolutely gutted that Vette.

That cobra was badass. Is that the cobra on HPP's website? Either way it is sick $hit.
Yes that was Manny from HPP.

From what it looked like the cobra's last pass was 10.3 @135. That's not a 1000 hp cobra and only trap 135! Unless he lifted way early
I will talk to Manny today and see what happened. He was already going 10.1 @ 137 on only 19 lbs and 820 HP so something was up. Maybe a slipping clutch or something because he is running 24 lbs now.
He really needs an auto and solid rear but he doesn't want to go that route.
if that car has 1000hp it has the worst driver ever and has cylinders out......our cars run in the tens with 600 or so.

I guess what they say is true... Ignorance is bliss! Most of you have never stepped foot in a 600 hp car, much less a 1000 hp car. How can you judge what is fast and what isnt... off of what you have seen on Tsreetfire or Putfile??? Other peoples kids, I swear!
