finally got back out to the track with my new 99 cobra. car is virtually stock except for bbk cold air intake xpipe head tick mod magnaflow mufflers and cross drilled and slotted rotors. i know some of those dont add horsepower but mentioned so you get an idea on how stock it is.
track prep was horrible as in non existent EVERYONE was spinning even a 10sec dually truck. im sure you get the picture but here are my numbers (all 1/8th)

first pass right off the street was a 9.44
i dont have the rest of the numbers as the slip flew out during my 2nd run.

Pretty consistent but as anyone can see you need traction.

Oh yea I was on complete street tires I'd like to go back on some radials to try and drop my 60s down but I'm worried about how the IRS holding up

WannaBeGearHead

Your IRS will hold up fine with DRs. You have seat time even with your street tires. Work on slipping the clutch and not dumping it.

im not dumping it all im just taking off a lot faster then normal then banging 2nd gear and thats where im getting all of my tire spin and wheel hop

The 99/01 cobra is 28 spline halfshafts compared to terminator 31s, its very easy to bust those axle with sticky tires even with a bolt on car.

w8less

i thought the 01s had the upgraded 31spline as well

WannaBeGearHead

2001 Cobras had 31 spline, yes. I still don't see him breaking them on DRs -- even with 28 spline.

uberstang1

I didnt know the 01s had 31 spline lol, if u dont get wheel hop they should hold up, those 28 spline half shafts are almost instant broke with wheel hop and sticky tires, ive helped push enough em back off the track to attest to that.

Good timz.. Def need a radial tho.. And maybe some launching skills
