Took the cobra out for my 2nd trip to the track ever with her since i got her last august. Went to Island Dragway here in New Jersey today where i did my fastest run with her so far. Before the time that i did today (timeslip below) my best run prior was actually my 1st run EVER with her, which was last september 3weeks after i bought her, which was a 12.9 @ 117mph with a 2.1 60ft on street tires.


I only got 2 runs intoday since EVERYONE at the track was breaking down and the lines were long I was running on the stock 17" wheels and Toyo RA-1 Drag Radials @ 22psi. For the 2nd run and final run of the day i lowered the pressure down to 18psi in the tires, but due to a terrible burnout and serious clutch slip in 2nd gear, i only ran a 13.3 @ 114mph with a 2.5 60ft.

This car was a serious track whore before I bought it, so the stock clutch and flywheel have some hotspots and it slips pretty bad if I run it more than like 2 times at the track lol. Thats ok though, sitting next to me in my room i have a few things to install in the next few weeks:

- Spec Stage 3+ clutch (26spline)
- 26 spline input shaft
- new TOB Guide sleeve from LETHAL Perf
- Fidanza Flywheel
- Driveshaft loop

With the above mods installed within the next month about, i should expect to hit low 12s easy, MAYBE 11s if i can learn to drive better.

then.....its time for slicks come my birthday in July!



I AM 5096 (yes the booth CONSTANTLY gets my numbers wrong) :fm:

I love Cobra's man... You should be flying once you take care of that clutch slip.

sweet times bro get tht 60' down and you will get your 12.0s. it looks like you got the speed if you trapped 117 once.

yeah my highest mph was 12.9 @ 117mph. I was surprised to see i lost 3mph but at least i was thankful for the faster 1/2 second drop off that time to pull out a 12.4 @ 114mph.

Most people i see at the track with slicks and trapping 115-117mph are running 11.5s all day long. I have the horsepower to be pulling 11s....just not the driver skill yet

Remember it is normal for the MPH to drop some when you get the car to hook and run good early in the run.
