Excess VS. Surplus

Do you guys remember the old joke, what is the difference between Excess and Surplus?

Merry Christmas

I'm curious David....what's your Cobra turn in the 1/8 or 1/4?

Lee,
Never made a full on charge....no cage, suit, arm restraints...
Let off in 3rd and it did 12.2 with a 1.34 60'. It is basically a stock FE. 490 HP and 600 TQ.

What are you running for tires? Weight of car?

David, you ruined my night. Sold my Cobra a few months ago. Major sellers remorse!

1.34 is quite a launch David....I'm impressed. My big-tire 4-link only hooks high 1.20's. Here's video of it leaving at Manassas:

325 drag radials.....too much carnage to the XKE driveline. Now using Avons.
Car weighs 2200#.

Sometimes people take exception when their thread goes off topic. In this case, quite the contrary. It has only gotten better. Carry on. The pictures and video are great, as is the topic. I have been following with interest.

 

[David Apple]

For those that may take exception...please note the concrete benches in the background....

 

[Lee Martin]

What's the old saying. "If you're not breaking parts you're not trying to go faster". I know I went "broke" in Pro-Mod. For as expensive as bench rest can be it's a deal compared to drag racing.
