What should my 94 Cobra Run 1/4 mile

The Green GT said:
My stock GT hit 14.5 with bad 60' times.

Im guessing low 13's atleast.

That's the fastest stock GT time I've ever heard.

Just wondering what you guys think it will run. Mods listed in sig. Thanks

I'm just warning you, if this is your first time to the track, you're going to suck. Everyone sucks at first. If this is your first time, I'm gonna say 14s.

I love the phrase "if you know how to drive." You could be the smoothest stick driver ever, but if you don't have seat time you're not gonna pull good ETs. Driving the snot out of your car at the track is not the same as doing a couple quick shifts when getting onto an on ramp.

When you come back, post your slip up if you want and some peeps will go over it with you. I don't post time's here because then I get 30 guys who keyboard race telling me what I should have run and that I "don't know how to drive." Or that their cousin's best friend's sister's boyfriend has the same car as me but he can get consistently better times by half a second.

Grain of salt is all I'm saying.

Good luck, be safe, and get ready for an awesome time!

Boy did you hit the nail on the head with that statement! A lot of people "think" they are good driver, but are quickly humbled at the track.


To the thread starter, your car should be capable of mid 13's, but as was said if this is your first time you are more than likely going to be in the low 14's. Orlando is less than 100' above sea level, so track conditions there are very favorable (excluding freakish weather) for making power and therefore better track times than most places with higher elevation. Just take your time and try not to over drive the car and you'll come back with some good times. Have fun, its very addicting!
 
I'd say a mid 13 would probably be a good estimate if you get a good launch. The best I was able to wring out of my stock 95 GT was a 14.799 @ 92.34 MPH with a 2.164 60' time on street (non-DR) tires. If you're not on sticky tires, be prepared to slip the living hell out of your clutch off the line to get a good launch.
 
Well, I can drive. lol... Speedworld aka Spinworld was kinda half decent lastnight.

First pass went [email protected] with 1.98 60ft launched @2500rpm

2nd pass [email protected] with 2.0 60ft launched @3000rpm

3rd pass [email protected] with 1.89 60ft Launched @3000rpm

All was done on Nitto 555 radials, non dr's.

That dragstrip sucks big time. I bet at Bradenton you could have hit 13.1 :nice:

thats cool i almost have the same mods at you, we have the same tires too, with these tires and 1st gear dont they just light up?
 
very similar mods and et in the sig at OSW as well. the track doesnt suck its the drivers. although as the NIGHT goes by moisture and ricers take their toll, no track is going to stick under those conditions. my ets were on cheap ass street tires as well

i wanted 12's on street tires and bolt ons pretty badly, i just didnt really have alot of spare time to make it happen. i had quite a few 13.0 and 13.1 passes on street tires.

edit: below is the list of mods i had. i had to revamp them from the original post i had since i determined exactly the parts i had when i pulled my motor a few months ago.
