Like I said, no wheelspin off the line, he probably took it easy, did what he had to do.
If he did a proper burnout on some decent drag radials he could take a second off that run.

He seemed to get off the line pretty quick & clean to me..... :scratchchin:

Even if he took it easier of the line (which it doesn't look like it) his speed should of been much higher than 132mph.

True, he was so far in front he probably backed off in the top end as well.
Actually looking again and seeing both runs are almost identical times and speeds Im guessing he was going as fast as he could but still launching soft to stop wheelspin. To me his top speed says hes making around 650-670HP
The Hennessey Venom 650R ran 10.77 @ 132 mph as its best time and speed ever and its rated at 650HP , this cobra could go faster and quicker with a harder launch so its probably a bit over 650HP.
The Ferrari is rated at 560HP or more and it has traction control and he beat it easy.

Exactly ............That is not an original Cobra.
And the turky in the Ferrari still had no idea.

I could do the same thing with a fibreglass kit GT40 running Skyline mechanicals.
No weight and pure straightline speed........for handling, double the cars cost of production.
