I bought this 01 cobra in April. A week after I bought it the car ran a 13.3 with 90% of the mods listed in my sig. The only thing that has been changed since Ive owned the car is the X pipe, 18" Fr500's, Springs/struts/shocks, IRS brace and DR's for the track. The car has been consistent with 13.0-13.1 the last 6times I ran since april. When I bought the car it wheelhopped really bad. I wasnt even able to heat up the Nittos at the track. Once the car was lowered the wheelhop dissapeared thank god. Now with the stiffer shocks in the rear and MT ET drag radials(275/40/17) I was able to smoke them up like butter, and pull a 1.7 60'!! I was so happy. That netted me a 12.9, twice. My only problem is, I know these cars are great with bolt ons but sooner or later you hit a wall, until you go Forced Induction. With my mods is 12.8-12.9 about the best Im going to get? I see thats average on here. My launch must be fine, my shifting is ok too, although Im not powershifting. I would really like a 12.5-12.6 out of this car without doing much more. Im thinking of doing an aluminum flywheel and ported intake over the winter. Hopefully that gets me 330-330whp and a mid 12sec slip. Below is the timeslip....its huge! Also, one of the highlights at the track yesterday was me outlaunching an evo that ended up running a 12.9 also. EDIT: Video link in Post #17.
