Yeah, I know what you mean.. I just got a ride last night in a buddy's 90 Twin Turbo Z.. Automatic, but about $20K in the engine bay. He did the quarter in 11.9 at only 12lbs of boost (will be running 16lbs when the new turbos are broken in). Breaking the back end loose in 3rd gear was just insane!

With that kind of power, he should easily be in the 11sec range. Impressive nontheless!

He's still got his site up so here it is. Love this car. The styling from the rear is not great but overall a very fun car. Got coilovers too. Handles pretty good. http://turbo1rx7.freeyellow.com/index.htm

its a vortech sc...not sure if there is more than one vortech model for the cobra or not, but i know one thing, its VERY quiet. he raced a nitroused vette at milan dragway and beat him even with a 250lb passenger. when they both pulled into the pit area, the guy driving the vette was furious. it was so quiet the vette owner didnt even think he had a sc so he accused him of spraying. he told him to pop his trunk and he asked to look behind his passenger seat to see if he could find a nitrous bottle. LMAO!
