Well, it's not amazingly depressing since I really don't care. But those of you who wanted to know. Here it is.

GTO's for some reason, don't like to hook up. It blazes the tires leaving the light. On the rare occasion one can get it to hook, it shifts into second and sets the tires on fire again. The autocraptastic transmission in this car is one of the more poorly designed POS's on the planet. I've hated this trans on the street from day one. I've now cemented this thought given my passes tonight. If it smokes the tires leaving the light, and you decide to lift the throttle just for a split second, it shifts. Then it takes a good two to three seconds to think about what gear it wants to be in and then kicks down again. Yet resulting in a John Force stlye tire fire all the way out to the 1/8th. Also resulting in a 15+ second pass with a MPH somewhere in the 150 range! (J/K)

The car went a best of 13.80 something. I don't recall exactly, and not one pass was made without it smoking the tires at some point or another. It really needs a set of drag radials. Oh, and a converter some kind of bad.

So it was kind of a waste. But I did put my woman in the car and she made her first pass ever. On the plus side...We now have a new fan of drag racing as she got out of the car with a grin from ear to ear.

Feel free to flame on. In the mean time, I'm going to go hang an oily rag from the gas tank. Anyone know of an 04 Cobra for sale?

Oof, don't let it get you down bro. Maybe try out a torque converter of some kind and some drag radials and see what she'll run before you make the car switch? What kind of difference could you see those making?

What were your trap speeds? They should be relatively unaffected by traction.
Save the cash and get a used auto LS1 f-body: 13.2-13.5 bone stock with less money and horsepower. Depression cured.

Anyways, put some radials on the Goat and give it a shot for poopies and giggles.

Welcome to the wonderful world of IRS, baby! Now you know exactly what us Cobra guys are going through.

I tell you Sidewayz we won't hold the first runs against you. Get some tires atleast and run it again then we will see what that car can do. Run it with just tires first then go and get a converter.

Hey, you get what you pay for. I guess all the money went under the hood. The interior sucks ass, too.

At the track yesterday they were running about 13.5 constantly. So, they didn't do that great in my eyes, the cobras were running 12.3's and 1 guy who was pulling 2.3 60 foots was pulling 13.5 But, I think if you added slicks and tuner you could get that to low 13's.

I'm honestly baffled by the whole thing. On the GTO boards, 12's are no that uncommon. And low 13's happen in their sleep.

Maybe mine is broken? HAHA! Well, the track did hook like ****. I didn't see the VHT out once. And when I walked out to the starting line, my foot didn't stick anywhere.

Whatever. Time to get the 5.0 done.

Don't want to tell us your short time and best speed? Still too depressed? Maybe your car is 'sick'. Throw it on a dyno. That's what I'd do. Or was it just the driver? What kind of burnout procedure were you using?
