1st time at track with 03 Cobra...1/8 mile

[USMC-2-USN]

I figured i would head to the local 1/8 mile track with a friend just for shiots and giggles. After the learning curve was over and i learned ot launch without bog or spin i was running a pretty consistant 8.75 at about 81 MPH with bald NITTOS and the mods below. Couldn't get below a 2.2 60'. I am curious to see what the car will do on a 1/4 mile track since these cars have good HP. My friend with a borla, 2.9RR pullet and tune, K&N FIPK and some other minor mods was running anywhere from 8.1-8.4 on street tires.

Hopefully this week i will swap my magnaflow for stingers!!

I mustered up a 8.6 @ 85mph 2.25 60ft friday... sounds from the video like you were a little slow on your shifts... my 60's are killing me as well though...

damn boy... heat up those nittos and you should be able to cut atleast a 2.0 ... if not better....
also, not to flame, but have u ever tried power shifting?

Agreed heat up the nittos ! You need to power brake them til you get a good amount of smoke . I'm guessing they are drag radials . I usually burn mine down about 7 seconds , my 60s usally range in the 1.9s on the Nittos whcih really isn't great . I usually launch mine at 3K rpms slipping the clutch and I get little to no spin . Also drive the car like you stole it !

I cut a 2.0 on stock F1's. You should definitely beat that with Nittos.

I've cut 1.84's on ES100's (comparble to the f1's). You def need to work on that 60ft.
