would you believe 14.26 @98.333 with a 2.288 60ft and .054 light out of a 93 cobra and i got video and a timeslip to prove it well basicly stock got a bbk h with cats 2 chamber flows and cut stock springs i was expecting a 14.5 at the very very best and that was some high hopes i or so i thought its got 130000 miles on it and was on 245/45/17 ecstas that have maybe 4 or 5/32 thats right good old street tires and im sure it could use some oil plugs wires and a filter (i just got the car and havent had the chance to do so) and if you go to the 1993 cobra registry car and driver got a 14.3 best time WHEN IT WAS NEW IN 93 i might be a little over excited and if im floatin my boat a little much please let me know but i think i did a damn good job when anybody i asked said i'd be luck to pull 14.7's at its age well to all those who doubted the shoe polish is on the window and the timeslip is (soon to be) framed damn i fucken love my car....no my cobra

Errr, really? Are you proud and shocked of that time? If it's your first time, it's understandable but a 93 Cobra correctly driven on street tires will still dip into the 13's. learn the car a bit and you'll be rewarded with better times.

on street tires?

good shit, practice your launches, lower the tire pressure and try to get a 2.0 60', that should get you into the 13s. good luck Dan.

Yeah you get that 60 ft down a little and youll be in the 13's for sure,a few more runs down the track and youll be there.When I had my old motor I was runnin 14.10/14.20s,just from practicing and learning the car more I got that down to consistent 13.5's!A couple little tweaks to the motor and got it down to 13.2's!But really the whole point is you had fun,you can always work on that time.But dont forget,no matter how slow or fast you run,somebodys always gonna hate!

Good first outing to the track. Where you the black 93 that was out there? If so, I think I may have seen your car in the staging lanes a few times. I was out running the black F350 Superduty in lane three.

Like everyong else has said, work on getting your 60ft down and you could be in the 13's w/o any extra mods.

Also, these 5.0's actually get faster when they get older for a number of reasons, so it makes senes that Car and Driver didn't ET so well. Plus you do have a few mods. [Wink]

Nothing wrong with being a little excited after your first outing at the track. A lot of people get a dose of reality when they finally hit the track but you came away happy as hell..whats wrong with that?

Hopefully ill get my bucket out of storage and go put these new tires on sometime next month,still need to put on all my rear suspension parts but ill still get out there and have some fun.Just look for that orange Maverick that everybody likes to hate on for some strange reason. [patriot] Hopefully ill still be able to wack a few 12's on the street tires.Thats good enough for me,hopefully ill see you guys out there!
