His shifting was just to slow....lol. As said before its all abou the driver and keep in mind this race was close. I only beat this guy by about 3/4 of a car. I dont know my whp but Im guessing with race gas inbetween 400-450.

AWD has its advantage in the launch, but it goes downhill from there. more drivetrain loss and more drag. the cobra doesnt have that issue! thats why the newer skylines have variable drive - the opperate at 90%-100% RWD till the rear wheels slip, then the front wheels click on in. all the perks of AWD with none of the drawbacks!!!!!!!!
good kill bud, i would love to see that video

AWD helps more than hurts, the reason why EVOs run 13.2s@only 100-102MPH is because of the AWD, the AWD is the reason why the EVO ran such good times, take away AWD and the EVO runs 13.8-14.0 (on it's best runs)@99-101MPH. It only has 245-255WHP stock and weighs over 3200Lbs. The base C5 Corvette can runs similiar times 13.2s and weighs around 3200Lbs, but it's trap speed is well over 106MPH, why because it has over 300WHP to start.

honestly when considering what you said when you started off, im not on anybody's side because i own an evo, but i respect cobras, beautiful v8's what started racing, just to let you know you said evo vs heavily modified cobra, you should of said master heavilied modified evo vs heavily modified cobra, then that would of made sense, seriously you made the evo sound like it was stock or something when you reallly put a **** load of time and money. but beating a cobra(priceless), cobra hit the garage and figure out what you did wrong, in the world of power (LETS GET IT ON)

Good win though.
