Hey guys,
Sure seems to be a huge disparity among times depending upon air quality. Moreso than if you compare a typicaly N/A motor'd car. This kind of goes against conventional wisdom since the blower motor is at an advantage at all elevations/air conditions...and doesn't lose as much efficiency as a N/A motor.
Maybe there's something in the engine management that pulls gobs of timing out if the air charge temps reach a certain level?
I see guys on the east coast (like the MMFF cars) running low-12s/114mph+ stock, and then I see guys in hotter climates squeaking out mid, low-13s at 107mph...at the same track a stock LS1 F-body is running 105+.
Anyway, how much slower is an '03 Cobra convertible going to be? Obviously, this will mostly be related to the added weight, I know. Just curious if anyone has run their '03 'vert at the track yet.
