Default 7.49 at 197.99

we went to shake down at etown with the 2003 cobra that we built and it went 7.49 with only a little 29x10.5 and a 106mm turbo. There were some fast cars there, tim lynch went 6.66 at 215.

Was that run a True 10.5 tire or "W"? Either way, that is very impressive. Im guessing that is a Super Street car?

BAM! Congratulations!!!

So what gets it down the track so quickly?

Tires don't look like W's, but the wheels look like the tires are W's!

The question of being a SSO car. Yup, it's SSO 2143 if I remember the second pic correctly. Not the quickest ever, but looking like it has the potential to go much quicker than 7.4's. The mph looks like it could see 7.0's but it's really hard to tell with turbo cars.

on this pass we where running 29x10.5 no W since we cant run a W in SSO. as far as getting it down the track our suspension is top notch and our swaybar has a lot to do with it. car was skating all the way down the track.

thanks wormboy and everyone else for the compliments. the car has only been out for 2 months.

wormboy its a ladder bar. the car came to us as body in white with part of the cage tacked in. The motor is a scott merkel piece, dyamic glide, bs3. We actually can not fit a W on the car. Manny's run was the fastest to date on a true 10.5 non W. go to godragracing.com and you can see a lot of the runs. yesterday we had tranny issues, we hurt it sat night but we still went 8.0 at 198.00. Our motor loves that 106mm,its a 7.70 car with the 91 but I really think me will go over 200 and in the low 7's with the 106mm.

Congrats on the runs with your Cobra. Was Tim Lynch running 10.5 tires, I saw him run some 6.8 and 6.9s last year on 10.5s in Bradenton?
