Good kill and nice pass. 10.90's are respectable. It's interesting that a ported Eaton + nitrous Cobra couldn't outrun a 10.90 car. That's racing. Nice job OP.

well like I stated the 555r's are better on the street than the track

at the track they will hold just as the back tires get to the 60' mark then I can get on it

on the street running a porsche I was able to get them to hook at 15mph on bottle

so I'm sure if I can get a tire to hold like on the street my et will be much nicer


Another reason I posted this back up was because of everyone bagging on the cobra driver
I think his car is respectable and wanted to show what he was up against

so then unit....what's yours run? on and off juice
I am wondering where his car should be.
he is still on the irs
and from my understanding they are heavy and I believe he has no weight taken out of the car
I have ran a couple other cobras
and even a new gt500
and have not lost.....YET <key word in caps

The '03-'04 Cobra's curb weight is 3650 give or take a couple pounds. A pulley/ported/nitrous Cobra could run anywhere from 11 flat to 10 flat depending on how much it weighs, which axle he is running, how big of a shot, type of port, which pulley, etc.

It's funny when I hear people say this, "he should be able to easily run that with no spray". Have you ever launched a Cobra with IRS? If not, only then will you understand how not-easy it is.

Uhm some of you dont. I was cross shopping 03-04 cobras because of the IRS, i wanted a car that could Auto X and maybe even handle half as good as an rx8 while being a few million times faster, with much much more potential left tog go. Seemed like a worthy trade off in my eyes. But i just could not live with the interior it comes with, especially for the prices they were going for when i was buying my car. I am well aware of it being faster/easier to mod/greater potential, but for me the interior was not something i could overlook especially since 95% or more of the time that is the part i would be seeing of my car.
