I think they are decent considering the D/A. i don't think you should be unhappy. on a cooler air with low D/A under 1000ft you should be running 10s.

 

[IronTerp]

Not bad at all Matt!!!

 

[COBRA55]

i dont know how much DA afftects the ET, but i wouldnt be too many since you missed a gear alot.

Or maybe your not used to the new power?

 

[F8LSNAKE]

Looks pretty good for that weight and DA.

 

[fastbacon]

no to bad but ur running similar times for a factory weight 400hp car

I haven't seen any factory weight 400hp car run 11.50's. 3800lbs +400hp =11.50's. I doubt it. Post one up if you've got proof of that.

Also remember to add location,elevation, and D/A.

There have been many 03 Cobras run here that are stock or near stock and 13.10s with DR'S is about the best yet, some pullied and tuned ones have ran 12.7s. But that is about it.

 

[SVTkel]

11.5 at 122 = pretty darn good.

Good job

 

[ponyboyisaac]

come on man, you did good! at least u didnt run 13seconds flat like someone i know lol. I wonder when lincoln closes there track? I heard theyre only 1000ft above see level :read::idea:

 

[moparornocar2]

i think if you would have gotten your runs in closer than an hour apart you would have "dialed" in the car better. I think there is alot more in it!

BTW Issac, Your car looked sweet with the new exhaust, I also think with some more time you too would have ran considerably quicker in your car.

post your proof. what do you drive? your powerlevel and time.

Factory weight for a cobra is much heavier than 3445. More like 3800 to 3900 with a driver. A car that heavy is not gonna run 11.50's like he did with only 400hp. Look at his whole post. He's also at high elevation. Sure he probably has more left in the car with power shifting and a better launch, but it's way faster than a stock cobra in similar conditions.

You could have said a factory weight honda civic with 400hp, But you made it seem like you could run or saw someone run with a factory weight Cobra convertible as he has at 4000lbs at 400hp! Now it is time to back up your statment or back out of this thread!
NO Cobra , full weight with 400 HP will run faster at Kearney Race Park where he ran his!

 

[1badKebra]

mine went 13.11 @ 107.47 stock with a best mph of 109.89...

 

[F8LSNAKE]

Fastest full weight completely stock one I've personally seen went 12.60 at 113. It still had the air silencer in it. I think if he would have kept the car there were definately some 12.40's or so in it.

 

[XyX]

12.60s stock?..hrmm
