What should a stock '96 Cobra run on the 1/8th mile track? I know the 1/4th mile time is 14.0 sec, but the only track near me is a 1/8th mile and I am gonna be running it up there this friday I hope. Was kinda wanting to know what to expect to run!

Low 9's to high 8's would be good for a stock 96-98 Cobra depending on the driver...

Well I ran it this weekend. I did TERRIBLE!!! I dunno if this is normal for others but traction was a MAJOR issue for me, it would not hook up at all. Best I got was a 10.0 and that was a 2.6 60ft time (WHICH SUX) Should I just take off slow then nail it or should I be able to just floor it right off the line (which is what I was doing)
