This is true, but I know for a fact I'm a better driver at the track. I cant launch the car as hard on the street cus it eats the tires through 1st and 2nd. I'll get back to the track soon, gotta get my windshield replaced first to pass tech, got a couple cracks. 1st and only time i went in this car, i had a log mani and the ghetto volvo front mount, got 4 passes, best 2 were 14.4@ 101 on 7psi, then 14.4@ 92 on 12psi, on the last run i shut down 3/4's of the way down because i blew an endtank off the IC. New mani and new IC i'm expectiong low 13's

yeah a lot of guys convert the cobras over to a straight axle to eliminate the wheel hop associated with the IRS

Yea they kept talkin about that, it was a few cobras there. He was the least modified one that i raced. But they kept raving about how bad of wheel hop they get. And em and the other Honda kinda laughed cus our cars are notorious for wheel hop as well, although i filled my mounts so i dont really have the problem.

I'm sure its a decent kill. I rip those things up in my EG. IMO they are pretty damn slow for what they are supposed to be. Either you have some sticky tires or not making much power. Sounded like you have damn good traction. I say this because in the vid 2nd gear up sounded full throttle to me with no wheel spin. No way in hell can I do that

stock 03/04 cobras run 8.1-8.3 @ 85-87 stock on stock rubber with 2.0 60 foots
