03 cobra at the track VIDEO
 
KINDA
i beat him to the end of the track and trapped a higher MPH, but he had a slightly faster ET :)

this run was at 13psi, on street tires with a 2.1 60ft

DannyD 10-25-05 01:24 AM

very nice man, youll get a way better time with a better 60 ft and drag radials

Kahren 10-25-05 01:25 AM

not bad, but can go faster? where are the low 12s?
what tires? with better tires or better launch should be low 12s

jacobcartmill 10-25-05 01:30 AM

yes. needs more 1.8 60ft. at 12.4@114

i'm gonna go back in the spring with 15psi and some good tires and try to hit 11's

Jager 10-25-05 12:36 PM

Purdy fast.

Seemed liked the Cobra won... anyways nice run!

jacobcartmill 10-25-05 09:26 PM

did anyone notice that i beat him down the track? and i was pulling (higher mph)
LOL sheesh

FBrotor7 10-25-05 09:40 PM

Nice race. That is f-ing close. Good luck getting to the 11s, more boost and better tires sound like a good start to get quicker times.

treceb 10-26-05 02:40 PM

nice run. turn that boost up....

similar thing happened to me last time i was at the track but with a mach1 or something. i beat him, trapped higher MPH(110 to his 108) but he had a faster ET(12.7 to my 13.0).

What mods did the Cobra have?

scratchjunkie 10-27-05 12:11 AM

yea watching the video is kind of weird. you can see clearly that the right hand lanes sign came on first. :scratch:

zeromage428 10-27-05 01:03 AM

what they dont tell you is that its rigged

That's because the cobra got a late start. The time for the ET doesn't start running until you "break the beams"

So, you could sit there at the line with a green lite for as long as you want, but until you start moving, your time doesn't start(well your reaction time will be adding up as soon as the tree goes green.)

The FC did cross the finnish line before the cobra and he was going faster than the cobra. but the time it took the cobra to break the beams and cross the finnish line was shorter than the FC's

hope i didn't confuse anyone lol

Either way good Kill!

eriksseven 11-03-05 09:33 PM

good run man, your TII sounds pretty gnarly :)

MazdaRx793FD 11-04-05 06:44 PM

i did beat him, it was headsup racing :) and i had a higher mph

but yeah he technically did have a better ET so whatever. :)

legal-z 11-06-05 07:59 AM

this is drag racing right? he did win! watch any drag event and the first guy to the stripe wins. you don't get to sit on the start line in your top fueler and wait to go until you're f-ing ready. you see this same situation all the time in pro events where the loser runs a lower e.t. but loses because his reaction time sucked. nice kill.

SevenHeaven 11-07-05 10:04 PM

Since I have an 03 Cobra as well as an RX-7 I'm not commenting on who won or might have won...

But you do have a very nice car and its very quick. Anything that can keep pace with a Supercharged Cobra has my respect!

7romanstatesmen 11-08-05 12:43 AM

hey, well done! nice race, and beautiful tii. i've seen some stuff on here about it, so it's cool to see it run...and win! especially against a pretty respectable car.
