[QUOTE="03 DSG Snake, post: 280169, member: 6485"] I took my Cobra out tonight after I got done with evening classes to the "local" strip, LACR in Palmdale. For those of you who arent familiar with the track, its about 2700ft above sea level, is never prepped on "grudge" nights, and is generally not cool but its the only place around here. My first two runs got me 13.79@104.4 and 13.741@105.1, which, when converted to sea level times, 13.35@108 and 13.29@108.6. Nothin to write home about, but at least a little consistency :shrug: 2.3 60 footer on the second run, didnt get a time for the first. Let it cool down, took it back out. Slipped the clutch off the line, got some spin, but felt like a good launch. 2.12 60 footer on the F1s. Hit the shifts pretty hard (put my Tri-Ax in this morning) and crossed at 13.248@107.5. This converts to a 12.82@111.1. Getting better. 5th pass ever with the car. Pretty excited by this, went back to the lanes to try and duplicate it. Lined up against my buddies 5.0 that was doin 10s, no pressure. Hopped BAD off the line, I mean BAD. I wasnt expecting it, so I didnt react fast enough to get off it. Hit second gear, nothing... WTF? Put it in neutral, back to second, motor revved up and I heard and grinding noise? :mj: Had to get towed to the end of the track, had my buddy check it out, sure enough, half shaft was done, limped it back to the staging lanes, looking at it for myseldf for the first time, the #@%@ halfshaft is sitting on the A arm. So the car is spending the night at his shop, gonna get it towed to my dealer in the morning. They just did the driveshaft and rear end for the vibe issue, maybe they messed up the halfshaft doing the rear end? :thumbsup: Might I be able to shag one under warranty? Its not like I was being a total idiot and trying to launch at 6k on slicks, I didnt even burn out first, what I was doing was no different than driving hard on the streets, and what the hell is this car for???
