So, took my 99 cobra to the track for the first time at Cordova dragstrip. The car has a CAI, X pipe, and magnaflow catback and an MGW shifter and that's it. Track prep was good, but I was launching on hard street tires.
First run out: launched feathered it out at 3200 rpm, shifting at 6800: 14.407 @99.8 mph; 2.35 60ft
WHAT??
These cars are supposed to be mid 13 second cars off the street right?
Second run: launched feathered out at 4500, shifting at 6500: 14.054 @100.8 mph; 2.20 60ft
I couldn't make a third run that night but had fun. I found out shifting earlier helps keep it in the powerband and a better launch would help. Any ideas?
