My quest to break into the 11's....

[Zoom]

Alrighty guys i went to the drag strip at the end of April and I'm just now getting around to putting the video up here. I put on a set of kooks headers and catted x pipe over the winter and this was the first time testing it out. So this is a video of the better runs/kills I made at the strip that day. I was hoping I could get some pointers to a better 60'. It has the stock suspension, 315 nitto's and a minimal "burnout". The best 60' I got that day was 1.97 (not that great I know) but it was 45 degrees out so I couln't hook up very well. BUT ALL COMMENTS/TIPS ARE ENCOURAGED.

Best time was 12.01@122

The last video is just so you can hear the new exhaust on the car


-Enjoy :beer:

my god kooks and stingers are amazing

The car sounds really great. Get some more seat time and you WILL get 11's though.

Awesome sounding car. I think with some more seat time, 11's shouldn't be an issue. But I would probably go with a stickier compound tire. I've always had luck with Mickey Thompson drag radials. Maybe try power shifting the car.

Car sounds good as hell and nice trap speed. Get a bias ply tire and run some low 11's.:rockon: Try to shift just a little faster too. :beer:

The car sounds great.

It sounded as if you were short shifting the car 1-2, 2-3, so what were your shift points? Are the 315's DR's, or street radials? IMO, I would get a little more heat in them.

Were you going around the waterbox?

Just practice, practice, practice. It's definitely a low 11 second car with that MPH, like the above poster said, some ripple walls will help a ton. The car sounds amazing.

Sounds like you're shifting early..

 

[NateV8]

Better launch and shifting you could probably run around an 11.4. You should at least be 60'n 1.80 maybe a little better with those tires.

 

[WeeZee]

Nice car bro, isn't it crazy that new technology just makes up for less power.

Ive seen people who can't drive run low 11's with a CAI, AB muffler & 125 shot '11 5.0.

You have a fast car but drag racing is not an easy task

Not to be mean, but having an 11 second goal for a Cobra is kind of weak. That is a good goal for an NA mustang.

All Cobras except for the 2003-2004 are NA.

Zoom, with more track practice you'll just get better. Awesome sounding Terminator you have there. Keep us posted as you get nearer to 10s. :rockon:

 

[wigginwilly00]

You'll get there.. Keep it up..

thanks for all the feedback so far! i know practice is a lot of it, the tires are DR's. I can't shift any faster yet, i have to install the aftermarket clutch cable/quadrent/firewall adjuster. im shifting the car @ 6k because shifting at 6.5k makes the gear change too difficult. and no i was not going around the waterbox lol
