1998 Cobra - Test your mustang knowledge, guess how fast i'll run 1/4 mile
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. |

i ran my stock 97 cobra vert 9.1 on worn stock tires... 1/8th mile
traction was a problem for me... |

Ok, i ran the 1/4 mile today February 12th and i suppose i'll let a few more people vote before i post the results - i got 4 runs in on street tires.

I ran an 8.6x with the 03... not that good, but it was only the second time at the track... tire do make a difference... so do mods!

hehe I'm sure they would just have it clean :) no mud to fall off an all that good stuff =P. 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 |
Re: 1998 Cobra - Test your mustang knowledge, guess how fast i'll run 1/4 mile
I am guessing high 13's with good traction.

Re: 1998 Cobra - Test your mustang knowledge, guess how fast i'll run 1/4 mile
14.23 @99mph

Re: 1998 Cobra - Test your mustang knowledge, guess how fast i'll run 1/4 mile
I'm gonna guess 14.00 / 95 mph.

Re: 1998 Cobra - Test your mustang knowledge, guess how fast i'll run 1/4 mile
I'd say around a 14 flat

Re: 1998 Cobra - Test your mustang knowledge, guess how fast i'll run 1/4 mile
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.

OK here's the results from arrival to finish:
with my girlfriend in the car fresh off the freeway: 2.260 60' 9.163@79.06mph 1/8 mile 14.076@100.96mph 1/4 mile 2nd run, lots of wheel spin through 1st and into 2nd: 2.465 60' 9.474@79.10mph 1/8 mile 14.352@102.12mph - lost to a late 90's camaro who ran 106 mph 3rd run, deliberately bogged off line to keep from spinning tires 2.311 60' 9.110@80.08 1/8 mile 13.921@103.40mph 1/4 - beat a late 90's camaro 4th run, same as above - hot lapped 2.257 60' 9.028@79.94 1/8 mile 13.843@103.41mph 1/4 beat a purple/blue firebird with ls2.com sticker on his windshield. I'm happy with the results :D, i know with slicks and gears the cobra would run ALOT quicker especially since i crossed the finish line in 3rd gear each time. Thanks for all your support....Man i love racing :D |
Re: 1998 Cobra - Test your mustang knowledge, guess how fast i'll run 1/4 mile
Good job dude! Knew it was going to be high 13's. Yeah get shorter gears and a pair of slicks and it mid 13's for you buddy! Getting a pair of AFR heads soon, so I will be running times close to yours.

I bet the guy you beat in the blue firebird wont be posting it in the LS2.com kill section

I also checked I'm a member on that site (my last car was a modded 98ram air Formula). Iwas gonna post a question about it but there is no regional section for the northwest.

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. |
Re: 1998 Cobra - Test your mustang knowledge, guess how fast i'll run 1/4 mile
Ok, I give up. What exactly is an LS2? I've seen stock LT1s run better times. Actually, those look like stock 302 #s.
