Hi everyone, I am new to the forum. I recently bought a 96 Laser Red Cobra with 107,000 miles on it. Today I took it out to the drag strip to get some passes on it and get used to the car (It is my first daily driver with a manual transmission). From what I have read on other websites/forums, this cobra is capable of running high 13's (stock) in the hands of a good driver. My cobra is completely stock, and so far tonight this is the best time I've gotten:
14.699 @ 97.30 mph
60 ft: 2.350
330': 6.52
660': 9.617
1,000 ft: 12.388
My question is what can I do to get down to around 14 flat or under? I know my 60 foot time is almost atrocious, so what kind of techniques are used to launch this thing properly on street tires, because I am obviously doing something wrong here?!?! :nonono: Also, to the best of my knowledge, nothing is currently wrong with the car. it did have a check engine light come on about a week ago for the IRMC, but a can of seafoam fixed that problem and the car seems like it has full power. Any advice is appreciated. :bowdown:60 ft: 2.350
