Who removes there front sway bar when racing?????

[Snkbyte]

Just wondering who does. I always see these great sixty foot times and wondered. Also if you guys did was there a very noticable difference in straight line performance?

I was wondering if that trick worked on the Cobra. What size bolt is it, I'll try it next time I hit the track. I got a 1.996 as my best 60', but I'm also at a mile high. Thinking of tossing the jack, spare and rear seat too... but I did blow one of the DR's the first time she hit the track this year, so I'm iffy on pulling the spare.

I tried taking mine off and noticed no difference at the track. Maybe if traction was an issue it would help the car hook a little better. I can't stand to have the thing off on the street though. Handles horribly, so for now, it's on there anyway.

I have always pulled the sway bar off all my cars for better weight transfer but I dont feel its needed on the cobra. Last weekend I ran a bunch of 1.6 60' on nittos with the sway bar still on the car.

I can't believe everybody that has removed their's has no complaints about their car handling like poo....

o it handles like poo but my car is not a street car...its a street legal race car

i don't drive like an idiot on the street anways, even on the highway with the cruise set to 75, i haven't met a bend i cant take. so on the street crusing it's more than fine...did i mention slicks and skinnies are the only wheels and tires this bucket rolls on:rockon:

Trey is your 11.11 with it on or off?

 

[trey193]

Snk. it was on for St. Louis. I just recently removed it all together and I guess its just because my car is lowered quite abit but I can tell virtually no difference with or without it as far as handling.

no sways here either. the front of the car deff picks up more on the street for sure! and if ur worried about weight savings..its only 6lbs or so..not heavy at all.
