I don't know how much the car will run on a sticky track with temps less than the mid nineties.
You can make the aguement that your car runs faster than what you thought, but you drag race your car regularly. It's also a drag race car. I built my car for road courses.
By the way No way that Cobra was only pullied!

Well, if a C6Z, which is what 435RWHP?, runs high 120s (almost 130) with a great driver and ringer track, you should certainly be able to improve on your 120 at a better track. I haven't done a detailed analysis, but off the cuff it seems like purpose built cars run about as fast at CSW on a good day as anywhere else. HOWEVER, high(er) performance street cars and motorcycles run about 0.5 - 1.0+ second slower at CSW. I mean C6Zs are running low 12s, where they run mid 11s everywhere else in the country with very average drivers. Anyway, I guess that wasn't really the question.
I expected my motor to make 400-410 RWHP, it makes 391 (but lots is still on the table with tuning and exhaust). I expected to run low 12s and I'm solidly in the mid/upper 12s. If I did nothing but tack the front half of an Irwindale run on the the back half of a CSW run, I'd be in the low 12s easy. I guess we can't do that thought.
