[QUOTE="Fifth Mustang, post: 1659195, member: 22127"] Since you are a beginner, keep it simple and you should be able to get into the 12's pure stock. Here are your steps to follow: 1. Reduce rear tire pressure to around 20 psi; This will dampen wheel hop 2. Forget about cutting a light, you can launch anytime after the tree has been activated. Wait until you are good and ready, and forget about the other lane. Watch the tach carefully so that you will remember what exact RPM you are launching at. 3. Launch between 2000 and 3000, but the higher the rpm the more you need to slip the clutch, and visa versa. This is the ONLY difficult part and it is very different from how you would launch most other hi-performance cars you may have driven. You must release the clutch gradually as you floor the throttle. You'll know you did it right when the rpms don't drop/bog when you launch. 4. Shift fast, but don't worry about the perfect power shift...we're talking hundreths of a second with this, and you are looking for tenths. Shift at 6000 RPM. If you get wheel hop on the 1-2 shift, don't let the clutch out quite so hard. If you can get the hang of the clutch slipping launch, your 60' can be under 2 seconds. If you can't, you can try to leave with a SLIGHT bog and still manage some high 12's w/ 60' in the 2.10-.15 range. PS - You didn't mention your MPH, as that would be the simplest way to determine if your car is making normal power for a stock Cobra. Good Luck! [/QUOTE]
