This is a sweet cobra, but only running 11.77 making 750ish on 93 octane, seems a little low to me. Whaddyathink? stock suspension? driver?

It says in the video, stock cobra except for the turbo and clutch. Regardless, even on BFG DR's, he wasn't hooking up off the line and seemed like he was taking it easy on it. I really do hope he at least has a irs brace on there as I don't see how it has went down the track without that at his hp level. With suspension mods and some M/T's, that should easily be a 10 sec car.

looked like it sat a little low during one of the pictures in the vid, thats why I asked about suspension, but I would guess it should easily be a 10sec car

i totally agree with it being a 10sec car... but he now needs to get all that power to the ground... otherwise it's not that impressive.

That could be a 9sec with that kind of power. Its his daily driver though...17in bfg drag radials... stock suspension.

If that car was built right theres no doubt it would hit 9's.

Im thinkin solid built rear swap, slicks, and some suspension work, that would be a great street and strip carand a daily driver

... you'd be suprised, but it depends on your goals... he might not give a damn about 11 sec 1/4.... he hits 55 - 180 in no time.... probly a street racer
