Well I have had the car for a few years now. Went down to the track with some friends to she what I could do with the Cobra. As of right now the car has a Magnaflow catback, and JLT Intake. It is only my 2nd time running on a dragstrip. I took it easy on the launches at first, since my IRS is still stock. I was running on Street tires, KDW2's which were great. I was having no wheel hop issues, so I start leaving around 3k. Only got 3 runs in at Etown. Here is my best.


R/T - .488
60' - 2.181
330 - 5.798
1/8 - 8.691
MPH - 85.08
1000 - 11.130
1/4 - 13.192
MPH - 109.53

My first run was 13.4 overall for my driving, I am happy with 13.1. Now to get the KB on :rockon:

not too bad, congrats :beer:

I think for my 2nd time at a track and 1st time with the cobra its well. They only let you run 3 times at etown, I think I could have improved with a few more runs. Ill run it a little harder when I get an IRS Brace on.

I'm waiting for my friend to upload the videos otherwise I would have posted them. My friend was having traction issues with his 11' 5.0. We only got to line up once, but it wasn't anything too exciting since he had a crappy launch and missed 3rd.

with a magnaflow catback my car was able to score a 12.83 at 112mph with a 2.0 short time ... with just alittle better 60' time and you would have been knocking on 12's too .. very good for street tires and first trips out!

Congrats! I am about to take my car to the track in MD w/ same exact mods (+ IRS brace that i'm installing this week). Is 109ish a good mph for stock car w/ CAI and exhaust? I was hoping i'd be in the 12's no problem but it looks like it won't be so easy.
