Props to NyteRyder. That's a fast car. Do you have the exact weight of it? You said it was around 2600, What all have you done to reduce the weight?

I don't wanna answer for him....but I'm gonna do it anyway.
No IRS brace or anything to make it "safe" to launch from a dig, so I'm pretty sure he will only go from a roll.
Oh.
Do you like to run your z06 from a stop?
I haven't yet, but I certainly wouldn't be opposed to it.
It's hard to launch....but there's only one way to learn
Kinda sucks it has the torque management written into the ECU. I was reading a post by Ranger, saying that the better you launch the car, the more the TM affects it down the run. The better his 60' time was, the worse his quarter mile time was. I can't remember the exact numbers, but I wanna say his 1.7 60' yielded him a 11.5 quarter, but his 1.9s 60' got him an 11.21. Something like that.
Anyway, my point is....I'm not sure how good the car will run from a dig, but I am certainly interested to try it. It's just a matter of finding a good spot to do it.
P.S. I prefer to go from a roll, because the videos we make are trying to compare the cars instead of the drivers. We feel that going from a 50mph+ roll, there's not much you can really screw up. Things aren't going to be perfect, but from a roll you eliminate a lot of driver error, and come closer to seeing a matchup of the vehicles involved.
From a roll if I'm running an AWD Cyclone.
wow, mustangs usually like to run from a stop.
I guess its the IRS thing.
if I had a syclone, Id probably want to run from a stop also
Its only a v6 s15 sonoma for the most part.
but its cool.
what the mods on these cobras?
Mustangs with solid axles.
I don't know about newer Mustangs, but back in the day when I was running my old '85 Vette around the town I grew up in, there were a million Mustangs (mostly fox bodies) around that wanted to race me. NONE of them wanted to go from a dig, all of them wanted to go from a roll. I always wanted to go from a dig in that car, 'cause it launched like mad. But I always had far better traction than any Mustang I raced.wow, mustangs usually like to run from a stop.

Its like having an evil twin... In your head.
My weight is 2640 with a full tank and without me in the car. I definatly want to do it again with better gas, more boost, no leak, and no nagging wife in the car. I work 2 full times so I wont have time to play with it until sat
what mods did the cobra have?
I am not really sure but before I met up with the guys there was a bout 5-6 cobras and 2 z06s and they told my friend that 550whp was the slowest car there.
550whp? Is that possible? meaning, do you really think that car was putting out that much? Is your car running 350whp+? Since your car is light, I would assume with at least 350-450 whp it would be similiar to a cobra with that much power.
Mark, a GT30 eh? Are all the GT turbo's ball bearing? Anyone else you know have a GT series turbo without the BB. I have a half GT turbo (compressor only standard t3 garrett wheel).
Yes.
Slow down man, my car is no where near stock and yes I am making over 400whp on race gas.
you know if you take your car to a shop and get everything done right, your car would be more of a beast, I have been through the problem of ic piping popping off and various other problem. There no substitue for just paying the money and having it done right. I bet you will pull even better numbers. Did you build your bottom end or is it stock.

This is true, my skills are of no comparison to a shop, but I would never take my car to a shop to fix something that myself or my friends can do ourselves. If I run into a few problems so be it, fix it and keep steping. Bottom end is stock.
Are ya thinking of running meth. Or maybe stroking the motor for quicker spool up.
