Went to the strip last night..took the Cobra. Now some of the older peeps on here (Gabe, Matt, Sawson, etc) know what a biotch of a time I have had at the strip with this car..never getting below a 14 flat...well the car gods have shown me love..ran twice last night..
Run #1--
R/T----.636
60'----2.014 (didn't do a good burn out)
330----5.844
1/8----8.960
mph----80.21
1000---11.595
1/4----13.831
mph----100.90
Now I thought this was a fluke until run #2 then at the finish line I pissed myself and fell out of the car!!!
Run #2
R/T----.703
60'----1.986
330----5.769
1/8----8.847
mph----80.36
1000---11.455
1/4----13.675
mph----101.58
Now this doesn't seem like much to some...but a 13.6 @ almost 102 mph almost made me faint..When I first got the car the best I could muster was like a 14.7...now even with same mods and just some practice I can now cry with joy!! The funny thing is EVERYONE at the track last night was bitching how bad they were running cuz of the weather!! I was like f^ck you guys!! Keep it soggy and humid!! Well just thought I would share my story, and thanks for listening. ![[burnout]](graemlins/burnout.gif) ![[dance]](graemlins/dance.gif)

If I drove 3300 miles and something broke...man I'd be a little upset..maybe not mad, but definately pissed as hell!
