Default slow cobra

I've read from magazines and from people on this forums that their 94-98 cobras got up to 55mph on 1st gear. My 97 cobra at 4k rmps only gets to about 20-25mph, with only 2k rpms left till redline, i don't think its possible that it can go all the way up to 45mph(what a website said).

What is wrong with my car?

i have a 94 Cobra and my 1st goes to about 40. if you cant get there you probably have a shorter gear which is better for your acceleration

so i should have like 4:10s or something? car feels like this: first geat spins, 2nd pulls like heck, so does 3 and 4. also 4th pull pretty good on the highway from 40-50 rolls too, so does 5th but not as good as 3 or 4th. Thanks for the replies, GOD Bless all!!!

click

Try that.. leave the mph blank, select your transmission and the gear your in, rpm your at, and keep plugging in different gear ratios (3.27, 3.73, 3.90, 4.10, 4.30) in untill it closely matches up. It will give you somewhat of an idea.

Is a T56 worth it? If you plan on making more HP someday and if you really find a need for 6th gear, then sure it's worth it.
