Well, I guess its time I come in here since I have a car with potential now. I picked up an 04 Cobra a little over a week ago and I am ready to become part of the posse. She is stock right now and only has 6900 miles. Im down to run anyone that thinks they will put up a good fight. Im sure you guys know where a stock cobra stands so we'll see what happens.

Shiit man, you would wax my ass.


What does a cobra run stock? mid to low 12s?
Muscle Mustangs & Fast Fords ran a 12.43@113 in a bone stock cobra, but Im not even gonna bullshiit, I would be lucky to get in the twelves because 1) I just got the car, and 2)I dont have a lot of experience launching.

We should be close from a dig and also a roll. I have only made 2 passes on the turbos and got a 12.7@115. Just need more seat time though to bring it down. I ran a friend's lightly modded Cobra and he ran a 12.7 also.

What boost were you running on that pass? I think we would be damn close from a roll, but I have never launched this car so I think you would probably get me from a dig.

c'mon now, lets not nit-pick here... she's got an 03z (rated 287 at the flywheel) plus full bolt ons, cams, and a tune. still figuring out a blip at about 6500-6800rpm causing a little peak power to be lost, but the overall powerband is real nice. if i had to estimate her crank power right now i'd say its prolly somewhere between 315-330. when the tune is finalized she should be really close (within 5-10) to the 300whp mark. the car's stout.

but thats neither here nor there. she's not the one you'll be running. so back on topic. i just didnt want people getting things misconstrued.

I never knew yours was an 05 model. Always thought you had an 06 for some reason.



darkstar6069, when you say Auburn are you referring to Auburn, Al or Auburn, Ga??? If its Auburn, Al....I would like a crack at your car. I ran my brothers old AMS 35R Evo back when I was stock and he got one car on me to 125mph or so. No point in going beyond that, the 5th gear on the Evo is retarded compared to 1 through 4.

I had a bolt on cam'ed Evo back in the day.....freaking cars are a blast and I would not drop what you have got for a Supra unless the Supra was in stellar condition(saw your post on Supraforums).

i'm sure she'll bring it out when we get it figured out. there's a shop in fla that had an issue similar to hers with another z, but she's kinda hesitant to drive all the way down there and spend close to a grand on gas, hotel, and tuning which i cant blame her at all for. i think it has to do with timing issues at different rpms... i dunno... we'll get it figured out and have some fun with it. its definalty peppy and strong in the midrange, but its just lacking a few up top. in time, sir... in time. good things only come with patience.

DOH!! lol you caught me. Well I'm going to Auburn University to hang out with some friends and for my girlfriends birthday since her best friend goes to school down there, but unfortunately I won't be driving my car. When I come back I am down for a run if you want. How much power was your brothers car making when you raced him?

1.8t
04-09-2008, 01:35 PM
My girlfriend still goes to Auburn(I graduated 1 year ago in May from AU). I wasn't going to drive my Vette either, but if you were taking your ride, I was going to take her down. I much prefer racing in Alabama than here in Georiga, much less of a chance of being caught.

My brothers car was making 405awhp on pump gas, 93oct. My stock times were in crap DA air, which is why my trap speeds don't make sense with the outcome of our multiple races. My car is weird in the fact that the better my 60' is, the faster my trap speed is. Due of this characteristic, she rolls on much harder than my trap speeds indicate anyways.

BTW, depending on the numbers of my new setup, I would like a shot at you on 30psi/race gas/AEM too.:)

hmmm well I'm just a tad bit over what your brother was making so it should be a good race. Unless you are putting down close to 530whp I really don't want to fill up with race gas just to do it since it's kind of expensive

1.8t
04-09-2008, 01:53 PM
Well, I was stock when I ran him when he was making 405awhp. I can only guess me being lighter and having a fat power curve was what made it so close because my car only dyno'ed 385whp/378wtq stock. My bolt on 11sec run below was in crappier air than my stock runs:(

I will be on pump gas with my new setup with no power adder.

Do you live in Auburn?

darkstar6069
04-09-2008, 02:00 PM
no I live in carrolton. From the sounds of it, you will beat me on pump gas, but that's just guessing from your mph trap. any idea how much your car weighs?

04-09-2008, 02:14 PM
3200lbs. You have a better clutch, tranny, and the ability to rev past 8k that he didn't, so I am betting that will make us a close race :).

Intake, headers, and an exhaust gave me 31whp and 40wtq(which is average from what I have seen). From that 31whp and 40wtq, I picked up 5mph in the 1/4 mile in a 660' worse DA day than my stock times. I would expect my car to put down some 11.80's @ 122ish on a slightly negative DA day.

It wasn't H.
It was just I/E + tune. Stock LS3 heads are aleady pretty damn beastly.
H=Header, not Head

Gotcha. The 5mph is a nice gain, but i just thought you would see more power out of that. I'm no LSx follower though so I dont know the facts. Thats a nice TQ gain too. Either way, you are still faster than me :doh: :cheers:

Unless you are putting down close to 530whp I really don't want to fill up with race gas just to do it since it's kind of expensive

We will see how the first race goes so we can get an idea how I will do with my new setup.:cheers: BTW, you only need to put in a couple of gallons;). You can drain all of the pump gas from the bottom of the tank by removing the drain bolt.

I never knew yours was an 05 model. Always thought you had an 06 for some reason.



darkstar6069, when you say Auburn are you referring to Auburn, Al or Auburn, Ga??? If its Auburn, Al....I would like a crack at your car. I ran my brothers old AMS 35R Evo back when I was stock and he got one car on me to 125mph or so. No point in going beyond that, the 5th gear on the Evo is retarded compared to 1 through 4.

I had a bolt on cam'ed Evo back in the day.....freaking cars are a blast and I would not drop what you have got for a Supra unless the Supra was in stellar condition(saw your post on Supraforums).


i was being sarcastic it's an 07 a/6 :D

technically, its not a "loaner"... its a rental through enterprise rent-a-car that they happen to be paying for, so my options are limited... the "'coolest" thing they have that i can get would be a 4 door silverado, which is what i'm shooting for.

yeah, I hear that. Does anyone know if it has improved since they have resurfaced the staging area?

Yeah, I def. plan on getting a brace before I ever launch.

DieselNuts
04-10-2008, 09:24 AM
shiit man, it really doesnt matter. I just know I spin pretty bad comming out of first. Even if we are going from a 10mph roll, thats cool. I just dont want the rear end taking the initial shock of a launch.

If you hop at all the rear end is going to leak.. I wouldn't do anything under a 40 roll untill you get a brace...

I haven't been to Commerce this year yet but I went last year when I had intake and exhaust and ran a 13.6 :lmfao:... Granted I also learned how to drive stick on this car and IRS is a pain to launch on street tires. Next time I go I hope to be well into the 12's... maybe 11's:ninja:

Although there was a guy with a KB 2.2 that couldn't get past 12.2 and he was right at 600rwhp on DRs

04-10-2008, 09:36 AM
Your launch technique has a lot do with the survival of your rear end. I do an initial engagement before a quick release to take the shock out of the d/t as much as possible. When you do it right, it will keep you from hopping and still let you cut excellent 60's.

Diesel and Collins, would you guys want to jump into this little meet w/ me, darkstar, and jumpin as well?

Terminator Cobras are notorious for horrible wheel hop. I hear that the tires are a big culprit of the problem. I plan on doing all the remidies to get rid of the wheel hop but I want to keep the IRS because I didnt buy the car just to go in a straight line.

Don't waste your time or money doing anything but springs/tires/FLSFC's... The bushings help but the are expensive as ****.. Not to mention the install is a huge PITA.. As long as you have a sticky tire it's all good

Do them at the same time.. You have to drop everything anyways and it just goes back in. You have to drill a 13/32" hole on the strut tower though.. It's easy besides that

you need to talk to damon on here and streetcar. he has boltons for the rear and running very low 11's and should be bumpin 10's before long and he's still irs. if vettes and supras can do it, you can too :goodjob: :2cents:

even though i will admit it is alot easier and alot less trial and error on a straight axle!! :D

I've seen '03-'04 Cobras run mid 9's with IRS... it'll take a little more power (turbo), but it can be done. There are groups that shun on guys who put live axles in their cobras.... kinda funny, but it takes a little practice... a bushing kit really helps as well. Check out svtperformance.com's tech threads. I'm sure you can dig up some info there...

Oh, I know it can be done with the IRS, it just cant be done safely with the stock IRS. It would be a lot easier to just slap a straight axle in there, but I didnt buy the car just to go fast in a straight line. I want the suspension to be as curve worthy as possible. I've been over @ SVTP for quite some time and I have read up on "the red pill" and it is FULL of information to better the IRS. I plan on doing as many as I can over time.
