Went to L.I. Motorsports Park on Saturday with my 03 for the 1st time. The weather was okay, not too humid and about 80 degrees, not sure if any significant elevation. My 03 Cobra has 2,800 miles, MAC 2 ½ inch CB and Steeda CAI. The car had about ½ tank of fuel, and nothing removed from car, tires at normal operating pressure. This was my 1st time out with this car. I’ve attached the details of all six passes including the time of day.
My 1st three runs were mostly for feeling out the car right as I got there, granny shifting at 6 grand. For all the launches I was slipping the clutch out while holding the revs between 2-3 grand. I didn’t get any wheel hop probably because I didn’t ever flat out dump the clutch hard – that’s for next time out. :beer:
The next three runs were after the car sat for about 25 minutes. I power shifted 1-2 at about 6200-6300 (too close to tell) and granny shifted 2-3 and 3-4. My last run would have been the best ET but I hit the rev limiter at the top of 3rd gear and the car felt like it took a nosedive.:dw:
Best 60 ft= 2.184
