Took the new ride to the track

[AntiRice98]

Well I took the cobra to the track last Friday to see how she would do. As i suspected, with the tires I was using and the IRS I couldn't get one good launch. The best time I squeezed off was a 7.91 with a 2.1 60ft trapping at 94mph. I literally had to start off at idle and ease into the throttle. I was happy overall though, I bought this car to DD...not to race. Maybe in a little while I'll build the IRS and buy some drag tires.

Damn, 1/8 miles are short! Seemed like a good run. What sticker do you have on the rear quarter glass?

Go to a road course instead of the drag strip. That's the kind of use your Cobra was designed for, not 1/8 or 1/4 mile runs.

was that a go pro with some kind of body mount? like the camera setup! a buddy of mine got one for christmas and i was thinking of liberating it for a day to take it to the track.

Yeah, it was my brothers GoPro. That thing is awesome. The sticker on the window is a VMP tunning sticker. It's off now, the previous owner put it on. And no, I don't want to road course the car. Everyone thinks cobras have great handling because of the IRS. Common myth, I have pretty much full aftermarket suspension and it still doesn't handle very good simply because it's a mustang.

Man I wish the girls that handed us our timeslips at the track were that attractive.


Oh btw nice run, and the color of your cobra is schweet. Plus the Cam was a pretty cool too.

Dude, no lie. That caught me by surprise. I think that's why I ended up running like 15 times instead of twice like a originally planned.

Nice camera mount. Nice run too. I bet it is hard to launch that thing with minimal tire spin, but still, that run looked pretty dam good.

Just having girls at our track would be an upgrade. lol

Nice hair bro! I like the camera setup. Do you have a picture of the mount?

 

[superstang01]

what is your camera set up?!

 

[AntiRice98]

That car was a nightmare to launch. Especially with the 18's. Even on that run I still had a 2.1 60'. I don't have any pictures of the camera on the car but here is the setup I was using...Took 10 seconds to put on and is really reliable.
