Default need traction!!

check this out fellas, i was at a stop light with a 99-04 mustang Cobra(dont know if it was the super-charged Cobra or not) and a 2000 Camaro SS.

when it turned green they both left me simply b/c i was fukin spinning

this was my first test since i installed the Stall Converter. i passed the LS1 but the Cobra was too far ahead so i lifted. If it wasnt in the city i would have kept the hammer down. what should i do about the traction?

True, true, & true!!! Tires have been my solution for traction, Nitto Radials 555R!!! LCA and Relocation Brackets are next. Also, all Cobra's have a stock supercharger.

Si, 1999 SVT Cobra was a pile of junk, didn't even produce 300 hp like they claimed. 2000 was only the Cobra R now how many of hose do you think youd actually see 2001 SVT Cobra had reported 320 hp and around 315 tq So really, the 03-04 cobras are the ones to worry about.

this one was a convertible, dont know if they made vert cobras w/ supercharger. I wanted to cry after he did what he did

i have the yokohama avs es... got a good deal on them but very disappointed with the traction. tirerack.com gave good ratings on this tire, BS!! yeah i guess next for me are the nittos street tires.
