[QUOTE="Relaxed Chaos, post: 7590437, member: 64993"] If your cobra is setup to be a quarter mile car you may want to consider bringing it back to its stock configuration for your first few open track days. Then talk with the guys in the open track forum about upgrades. I've found the car has plenty of power stock but needs help with the brakes. I never realized that driving and turning using the brakes alone could be so much fun. They take a beating but thankfully are relatively easy and cheap to keep maintained. This car has really nice toraue delivery and plenty of it and is surprisingly well balanced so getting intentional oversteer, understeer, and 4 wheel drifting is pretty easy once you get some practice and get know different types of corners and road conditions. With my mostly stock car I'm at about a 30% duty cycle: 20 minutes on track, 40 minutes cool down. I suggest waiting on all other mods until you drive your car. It will be apparent what needs to be upgraded as you try to get faster times and as you realize how you want to drive your car. It is a blast. IMO much more fun than drag racing. [/QUOTE]
