went to the track on wednesday. both our cars are modded alomst equally so i figured id get my ass handed to me. not the story but we had fun. there was a 01 cobra that was running high 14's so i thought it was fake but he poped the hood and its real but the kid said he built the car himself..i thought cobras were faster????
THey are faster then that.. It sounds like he is shifting waaaay to early or something.. and a 2.4 60' sucks ass. With only dr's, K&N, and 4.10's, and a stiffer clutch, I pulled a 13.78 and probably had more in it.
Before I had anything but the K&N and Gears I pulled a 14 flat... I also pulled a few mid 14's from crappy launches or playing a game of hide and seak with 3rd gear....
And his trap speed was loooow for his ET.. I had about the same trap on my 13.7 run.. and on my 14.5 I think my trap was 99.8.. right at 100. Dont remember what my trap was on the 14.0 run.
the gt makes more torque than the cobra down low, hence the better 60ft
well, that would be true 'maybe' if both cars were grabbing EXTREME traction, but in this case, the Cobra driver just sucked worse than the GT driver.. neither pulled good 60's at all.
based on the mods the two cars have, it should have been a 14.0-14.0 race...
since they are nearly identical times stock, i would assume that with only minor exhaust or intake, neither would have a diffenitive edge over the other
99 auto gt VS 97 cobra stick
