set4lfe,

I'm no drag racer, but I'd evaluate the HP based on the trap speed (110mph in a 3800 lb car). The ET is more a function of how violently you're willing to launch the car... and HP of course. He was a long ways from home, and was worried about his rear axles, so he did a grandma launch. His buddy in an 03 coupe did a 12.9 at 112 MPH, but the coupes are about 150 lbs lighter.

For those of you that saw the article, these are off of Alex's 996tt, the imagine640t tiptronic that posted a top 2 or 3 time I think.

Indykid,

That sounds like both a great et and a fantastic speed. How far from stock is your car? If its like mine, I'll use your example for bragging to my 03 Cobra buddy!

<edit> I now see a chip, intake & exhaust stuff on your car. Not too different than mine, I think!

My best friend has a 03 cobra vert with alot of Kenny Brown parts with 425rwhp and my car is actually faster than his.

Alex did not use the T/A at the Shootout. The Tires we used were Michelin's. We ran 265/315's.. The only other brand used were Hoosiers, Scar-go put them on there car.

Kevin,

Thanks for info, I'm sorry for spewing inaccurate info to rennlisters and in my ad.

The tires are still available, as new as could be and are about giveaways.
Anyone?
