What comes to mind when you want this is Bob Cosby's car. You know that one? He was running high 11's on the motor but sometimes going through 3 trannys on a race weekend b/c of the abuse it takes to run that.

You know I will wish you all the best. It seems like you can drive so it will be interesting to see what you will do. With those mods you will do i would guess around what 320-330 rwhp? It can be done i think.

Oh--you forgot to mention that I still have stock tuning, stock stall, nittos, full weight to run 11.9s @ 117 (best mph 117.95).

Skyman- Go to Anythingcars.com and talk to "Joe Lynch", that is his screen name.

He has a 99 cobra and he dynos 366 RWHP and has a live axle with 4.56 gears etc..

He runs 10's @128mph on a 150 shot and around a 12 flat off the bottle. He cuts 1.43 60ft's all day long.

If you talk to him I know he can help you out with some advice. He is a cool guy I met him once at the track. He has been in a 5.0 mag and everything.

Heres a video of his 11.17 @120mph run. Oh yeah I forgot to mention his car is a convertible.

Check it out.............He is alot faster than this now this is an old video

Thanks guys, Yeah I am familar w/ them both. Talked to bob a bit about his car. Pretty much doing mine up like his, but a little milder for a street application.

Will be looking for around 320rwhp. Lightened the car up w/ the solid rear, recaros, dynabatt, fiberglass hood, and tublar front end soon. Shooting for high 11's around 112 ish.

Sounds great, Sky. Are you planning on running lightweight rims too?

Good luck,

Im going to try and manage on the 17x9 konig villians I have, I dont want to run a 15" rim and w/ the brembo brakes I have, I dont know of anything that would clear them.

sedanman · 03-03-2004, 06:31 PM

Front skinnys will clear with spacers in the front fwiw. Sounds like a fun combo be sure to keep us up to date.

Skyman · 03-03-2004, 06:42 PM

brembos? They are huge!

sedanman · 03-03-2004, 07:24 PM

I am almost positive the spacers move it so the lip of the rim is outside the caliper so it can rub even though the caliper is even with the rim.

No kill stories for me. Hard to race when their is snow on the ground!

Besides, I really dont street race. The only thing new with my car is an 01 Cobra rear suspension with 4.10's. I should have pics. I was told it bolts right in.
