Friday night was great. There weren't very many cars there, and we got in at least 20 runs between the 2 cars. Trisha's GT runs pretty consistant 14.0-14.1's with her in the car, and 14.2's with me driving (100 extra lbs.)... we can't get better than 2.1-2.2 60' times or it would easily be a high 13 second car. Her car is a 99GT, Automatic, with 118K on it. Mods: O/R H-pipe & K&N FIPK (thanks Dave), Accufab T-body & Plenum (thanks Misha), and Flowmasters.
I ran a 12.9 @ 108 (2.0 60') in the Cobra on my second run. After letting my car cool for over an hour (hoping to take full advantage of the cold weather) I couldn't get it into third gear on my next run, and let off completely. Needless to say, I was pissed. So I hot lapped, drove the piss out of her, and ran a 12.7 @ 109 (1.9 60'). Not bad for a stock tuned car with a K$N Filter and a Magnaflow catback running on rock hard Cooper tires.
Trisha was able to run a best of 13.3 in the Cobra.
She ran a new Shelby three times (while she was driving the Cobra) and tied him on almost every run (he would get her off the line and she would catch up by the end of the track). His best of the night was a 13.9 @ 103... Hmmmm. I never saw the engine compartment so I'm not sure if it was the real deal or not, but I did see him spinning through first and second gear each time... that and he said he was shifting at 4500rpms (only 600 miles on the car). So yeah, my Cobra spanked a new Shelby, 4 times (I ran my 12.7 against him) lol
Later,
Logan
