So took the cobra to the "track" for the first time today and this was my fastest time. I put track in quotes because I am US Air Force stationed in Germany and the opened an airfield taxiway for us to run on. No prep just a tree and a concrete taxiway. So my current mods are 2.76" pulley, intake, upr o/r x, magnaflow catback, jund lund tune, and stock 275 eagle F1's. Times are below, what do you guys think,

R/T: 1.143
60 ft: 2.065
600': 7.730
1/8 ET: 8.223
1/8 MPH: 91.28
1000': 10.544
1/4 ET: 12.500
1/4 MPH: 114.50

Also I wasnt looking for R/T's just ET's so I know my R/T's were slow.

Hows the weather out there? humid? high elevation?

I'd say those are alright times but since you explained the track wasnt prepped I'd say you would do better on a real track.

The track goes up hill. I ran the same tune on my car at Atco and Cecil county and ran 12.5's at 113-115. Then I ran at the track in Bitburg Germany with a 12.7 at 110 consistently. They spray the launch area with the sticky sauce and there are typically big motor cars with slicks laying a good amount of rubber down.

You need a slick to get a good 60ft. I only got 1.8's with dr's.

But for that track you did damn good with street tires. I havent ran my car out there since 2009. Enjoy it.

yeah it really cool that they do it like they do. We rolled up with 16 mustangs yesterday. From cobras, to 2012 TVS 5.0's, to 11/12 5.0's, to foxs, to blown GT's you name it. It was a good time!

When I went we would stay the whole weekend. Race during the day and get hammered at night. Wake up and repeat.
