D. Johns,

I am the one that built the 03 Cobra and got it classified and put into the guides. It was a full year and a half process going between Ford and NHRA to get it done, kinda of pain but worth it non the less. I started with a body in white and built it from the ground up. The car went 10.75 at 127 mph in A/S in 4000ft of air in August at the Northern Sports with a complete stock long block from Ford and Comp stocker cams and springs. I did put a Lightning upper pulley on the Eaton. The car only went down the track 10 times. I hadn't even had a chance to tune the car, EGT were way off, the car had too much gear and many other new car bugs. I only sold it cause of the 2008 economic crash, or the car would still be in my garage. Before the Cobra Jets, it would have been the real deal!!!
