![]() Here's another poll for fun, i'm going to try to run my cobra this weekend. It's a '98 cobra stock except for generic performance mufflers, K&N and air silencer removed on stock cheap 17" tires.
Guesses - i would like to get a 13.99 at 100 mph - but i question my traction and weight of the car (fully loaded). Pacific raceways - 600 ft elevation (i think) in Kent, washington (state) about 25+ miles from seattle. I'll post my times after a week, maybe two.

hehe I'm sure they would just have it clean ![]() One night my father entered his 98 durango in my bracket class just to show me that he had never lost a race. I was calling B.S. the whole time; but sure enough (I will take a picture of the trophy to prove it if you like) he put a 10.64 on the window an won the race. It was a 25+ or so car field of 6-8 sec cars. needless to say, he made his point lol

![]() Hmm.. I think I ran a 14 flat at almost 102mph(from memory) with the 97 Cobra vert I had so... I had cheap rear tires too but it was at sea level.. My guess is 14.19@101.69mph. I think the 98 cobra was a little stronger than the 96-97. I hope you broke in the 13s though.

My second to last where i beat a late model camaro he ran 2.776 60' (ouch!), 9.944@78.05 1/8 mile, 14.861@96.71 It was the molded headlight (not 4 head light) stye, but i think this one ran slower than normal also.

![]() Ok, I give up. What exactly is an LS2? I've seen stock LT1s run better times. Actually, those look like stock 302 #s.
