Hey guys I signed up here but never posted, figured this might be a good first post. I spend most of my time over on svtp but I thought this video might interest you guys more.

Not sure how to embed videos here so if someone wants to tell me or do that would be great. Im the owner of the cobra by the way.

Good run, thanks for sharing !

CR04gt

Im around 3,400.

Here comes the excuses...

Bottle was very close to empty and I wasnt getting the hit the entire time.

Car doesnt make a ton of power with its fairly low compression.

ZFreie

And the rx7 weighs what? sub 3000lbs? lol

I wouldn't wanna run any small car like that with a v8 and rwd in it, very good recipe to haul some serious ***.

CR04gt

2,800

ZFreie

I was gonna guess and say 2900, even lighter then I thought lol

I wish I weighed that little...perhaps I just need to stuff the lt1 into something else....

CR04gt

Im telling ya man, light weight cars are where its at. Wish I could be sub 3,000 but I dont think thats possible for me. I already ditched the irs for a sra and lost some weight there.

Nice Cobra though.. I'm sure it pulls more *** than that RX7 even if it is slower..

wat he said^..what did the lexus have? that thing was nasty..the nitrous excuse is plausible unless u have a nano kit

CR04gt

Not too sure about the lexus. He was at a car event that day and tagged along. Only thing I heard was it made 750 pump gas and over 1000 on race gas.

Speedshifter what part of NC are you from?

How much weight did you shave on the sra swap? Im assuming a 9". Im in the middle of one myself, ill be ussing an aluminun centersection though

bout an hour west of charlotte..and you're right weight is key..my mild cam only car runs bottom 11s/soon to be 10s weighing in about 3300 w driver

OJ Simpson?

CR04gt

Cwarta I dropped about 100lbs I would say. I lost my 13 cobra brakes and have some small GT brakes but added UCA's/LCA's and diff brace which add weight. But in general you can expect to lose around 100lbs.

Speedshifter that is very impressive for 3300 pounds. You must be on slicks pulling a crazy 60ft.

BROjsimpson???

Did you do a kit or custom fab yours? My rear is all fabbed by me, and the housing alone was 30# lighter than a prefabbed moser. With the aluminun centwr and such im hoping for around 200# off of her. Get my gto down around 3,300 and ill be happy! I have a 2,900lb third gen for the rest

Lol drug. That Lexus was nasty.

CR04gt

It wasnt a custom kit. It was a rear end out of an 03 gt which already had control arms/31 spline axles and diff/diff brace/extended studs.

I have a buddy with a ls2 gto with airbags in the rear. He wheels hops really bad when he gets on it from low speeds but I dont think he would go sra. Maybe telling him he can drop that much weight will change his mind.

Wheel hop is nasty in these cars. It was one of the contributing factors to my swap. That and weight/traction

ZFreie

I thought the air bags in the rear helped alot with the wheel hop? Or am I thinking of a different mod? I have no exp with irs.
