Improve you 60ft and you will get better times. G/L:beer:

12.6-12.9 seems to be good stock time for bone stock, but u have dr's and intake exaust, then thats horrible no offense, you just need driver mod deff, and 107 is very low mph, I have seen 109-112 for bone stock 1's , for example a friend of my when he bought his new back in summer of 2002 he was trapping 115+ with ur mods on his and ran high 12's bone stock @110+

13.0 to 13.4 is average for me and i need a driver mod to...

12.3 @ 114 1.79 60' on Nitto 555Rs. Mods are UPR O/R X, Bassani catback, K&N FIPK, and canned SCT tune. That's it!!!

 

[Cobra2be]

what rpm's are you guys typically launching from? slip the clutch or just dump? just curious

 

[unit213]

13.0 @ 111mph bone stock...on a horrible 2.4 60'.

 

[timspony]

12.9 at 110 about right for a completely stock 03-04 Cobra....

I was always slipping the clutch out. tires wouldn't hold a dump and massive wheel hop will really limit your 60 because you need to get right out of it.

so basically if you don't have a beefed up rear end then slipping could be the way to go, but if you beef up a bit then you could dump without the wheel hop issue? sorry i'm a newb and still don't even own one of these cars but i'm learning all i can now before i get one!

Now that's a great trap for a stock cobra.

With the nittos, you really need to do a good smokey 2nd gear burn out to get them sticky. Pull around the water, back into the wet area just in front of the puddle. Rev to 4 grand, dump the clutch, and lightly apply some brakes to hold the car. When it starts to grab, let off the brakes and allow the car to move forward until it grabs a little. They will hook way better if you do this.

On top of that you should preload the drive train before launching.

You do this by pulling up the parking brake when staged. Keep the button pressed in. Then as you start to let the clutch out, allow the parking brake to resist the power for just a moment to take the slack out of the drivetrain and then slam it down, let the clutch out, and floor it. If you get the rpms and timing on this right then you can launch really good without the dreaded bog. It is best to practice this with the car turned off sitting in the drive way before trying it at the track.

My et was shit but my trap was good. I went a fastest of 13.3 at 110 bone stock on stock 275 f1's. This was in my old silver 04.

Best way is to leave the lights a little more aggressive than leaving your regular light. If you try and get creative, you may break something with those tires.

If you drive like me, 13.1 @ 115..... :nonono::nonono::nonono:
