For those who are interested, ran the new cobra!

[yellow1995Cobra]

Yes i realize this is the wrong forum, but u guys said it was ok for me to hang around here still . I figured some might be interested in my results with the 03 cobra.

Well i went to new england dragway on sunday. It was pretty cool and the track was treated very well.

I ran it 3 times on street tires, and two times on charlies(onebad95) BFG DR's.

My best street tire time was a 12.051@ 119.19 w/ a 1.962 60ft

My best on DR's was a [email protected] w/ a 1.773 60ft

I had one 120mph pass. Ive only had the car for a week and havent mastered shifting it yet(6spd much more different then t5). So these times were with no powershifting. I think theres more in it, maybe 11.40s or less. Time will tell on that.

Overall im very happy with it. This car is truly amazing, with only a few bolt ons u can have all that power. And still have amazing street manners.

Just thought id give you all an update! I will be running it ONE more time this season, maybe we can settup a date that all the northeastern guys can make it up...

[donjohn]

:worship:
I wish my POS was anywhere near those kind of times.

 

[RIO5.0]

Sweet....Damn I been thinking real hard about one of those...

Good to hear from ya...

I'm game for a trip...Give me a shout...Maybe I can scam Charlies DRs too ...
I dont even wanna be running it with 18s...All I can think is somethings gonna give or worse the infamous "bang" and its dead with my stock rear.....

 

[VibrantRedGT]

Damn 12.0's on streets with IRS is sick. You are becoming like Paul with the driving.

 

[brentwoodboy]

12.0!!

 

[Killercanary]

WTG Jesse!!! Charlie told me what you ran and I knew you had to be stoked. 12.0 on street tires is damn quick!!!

 

[wytstang]

WOW those are great times good job.

 

[tmoss]

Excellent - now change your avatar.

 

[Rootus]

Congrats on the times! I'm taking mine to the track either tonight or tomorrow night. I don't think I'll be anywhere near your times Jesse , but hopefully I can get a good baseline. There's a friend of mine locally who's taunting me -- he is bragging that he will beat me with his 130k 5.0L notchback, he's already run 12.9 in it and he's got 25 more rwhp this time. Grrrr. I almost decided to grab a Predator and 2.93 pulley today No sense playing fair...

Nice times man!

[1slow95]

That's awesome! Im glad this car is working out better for you. Think you can get in the 11's on street tires?

Damn, great times. What gear and RPM are you going through the traps in?

 

[Joes95GT]

12.0 is impressive. The 60' time is even more impressive on street tires with that much power at your disposal.

Put slicks and a solid rear in it and you're looking at solid 10's.

[Joes95GT]

Oh BTW, Jesse, have you tried pulling a valve cover yet?!

[mystang94gt]

See now that is why I NEED one of those cars!! Great times!! That car must be so much fun to drive.

 

[Nik_95Cobra]

That's great man!...Hard to miss a troublesome 94-95 project after something like that. Must be nice!
