[QUOTE="93cobra777, post: 224667, member: 6797"] Ok lets get technical. Weight is a given, of course thats gonna make it faster. but as for a tenth being equal to a car length, that is a fact. A FULL SECOND!!!??? have you ever been beside a car at the track a full second faster than you. well unfortunately i have and it was a LOT more than a car length difference. but anyway, back to the subject, i know a tenth is worth a car length and i can prove it here. ready, here it goes. 1/4 mile=1,320ft. say your car ran a 14.0. that would mean roughly that your car is going on average 94' 1/4" a second. now, if your car runs 13.90's, that would put it right at 95 ft a second, roughly 3/4 of an inch more per second than a 14.0 PLUS with it leaving a whole tenth left over with the difference in 13.90's and 14.0's the difference would be right at 10 1/2" plus the extra 9.4 ft for the extra tenth putting it right at 10 1/2 to 11 ft difference at the end of the 1/4 mile. whew, there. and with the stock length of the cobra being 183.5" would put it at 15' 3 1/2" would leave only close to a 1/4 of a car to spare on winning by a whole car length difference. there, thats the facts. then you have reaction time, shifting, all those goodies to look at too but for basic facts, that sums up that a tenth is equal to approx. 1 car length.
