[QUOTE="SVTCobra306, post: 9853097, member: 19605"] Checked the timeslip thread, it doesn't really list if any are convertibles.. My wife's 97 vert seems slow for a Cobra. Last night it ran a best of 14.70@97.5 mph. Previously it ran 14.79 at 95.xx, both were with me at the wheel. It weighs 3488 on my Longacre scales, and I weigh about 200.. Mods in the 14.79 run were DeMolet Tunable Induction, welded in Flow's, SCT Xcal with DeMolet's canned tune, and a King Cobra clutch, otherwise it's stock, and I had cleaned the IMRC's and replaced the injectors with fresh Ford Racing 24's shortly before that run. Last night I ran the 14.70, and the only changes to the above mods were adding a UPR catted X pipe, replacing the MAF which went bad with an 03 GT MAF and reworking the tune mostly to correct the MAF transfer function for the new MAF and delete the rear 02's. Granted, 2 MPH and nearly a tenth from two small mods isn't bad, but this thing is off the pace a little I feel.. I know I can get 2 more tenths out of it in the 60', maybe 3 without changing tires. Last nights short time was 2.3, the previous run was a little better at 2.2, and I've gotten 2.0's out of street tires plenty of times with my 94 so I have time there.. but still 14.40's would be off the pace for a modded 4V I think... IMO it should run 14 flat at about a hundred MPH with its current mods, and better with gears (it has stock 3.27's in it now). Sorry this sounds like a rant, I guess I'm looking for a benchmark to check this car by... anyone have a stock or similarly modded convertible lol? Maybe I'm just overthinking it.. the MPH/weight suggests 275ish RWHP.. [/QUOTE]
