Looks mean as hell! What's your best ET/MPH to date, and what tires were you on for that run?

Best ET/mph is a 14.3 @ 3mph on a 1.8 60 foot.

This is actually my slip too.

Let's just say that I have some fuel mods going in soon and I really
hope to crack off a 9.99 the next time I hit the track.

lol @ 3MPH! Looks really good! Do the rear tires hit the fenders?

The fenders are rolled. They don't hit at all when driving. The only place
I have a little trouble is getting in and out of my driveway since it's fairly
steep. They don't rub if I go really slow though. I'm curious to see what
happens at the track when I dump the clutch from 5,500rpm and the
rear end squats. I like the ride height now so I won't switch springs.
If they rub at the track, I might have to narrow the rear end.

BTW, I thought the 3mph trap speed was hilarious. If you notice
I still won by 2 seconds.

I don't remember what the situation was...must
be getting old. Obviously I had some issues on that pass though.

Its ok, you can admit you ran the 16.5 lol.

Yeah the stance is awesome! If the tires hit going out of your driveway I'm sure the same will happen at the track.

Maybe do some street pulls and have someone watch to see how it squats?

I'm thinking the same thing. I should launch it a few times on the street to see what it does. I can put a little chalk on the fenders and it'll be all over the tires if they rub. I tore up a brand new set of Nittos once because they rubbed at the track. I definitely don't want to do that again.

Ouch, I'm sure those are $300-400 a tire. It would probably cost less to narrow the rear then tear tires up. I've never heard of the chalk thing, I'll have to remember that for when my car grows up lol. Good luck!

if they dont rub, id say leave 'em like they are. adds to the agressive look of the car. for a 335, id say the tuck pretty well.

Thanks for the compliment.

I've beat on the car pretty good from
2nd gear through the top of 4th and there hasn't been any rubbing...big difference though from a dig at the track.

98 WS6 · 09-07-2009, 12:25 PM

Leave it as is

God.. if you pulled up next to me I think I'd shut off my car and walk away.

definitely. a squat on the street is a good start with no rubbing but its a whole different world at the track. nice and sticky hard launch should be interesting.

jermzz · 09-07-2009, 01:57 PM

Isnt your shit solid axle, Unit? Bad fuckin ass.

Damian · 09-07-2009, 01:59 PM

The meat back there looks mean as hell, but I'd definitely narrow it a bit if you could. I'm not a huge fan of the tire going past the outside lip of the fender.

Tuck those things in about 2 1/2 cunt hairs and she's gonna be sick(er).

liquidsmooth · 09-07-2009, 02:40 PM

A tuck is like a breast reduction, you should never do it! Nice ride!

cheeseLS2 · 09-07-2009, 06:44 PM

looks awesome

i like how mustangs look with wide rear tires

Dutchman427 · 09-07-2009, 07:13 PM

Your Cobra looks exellent man. They are definitly fun cars to have. I had an 04 that looks identicle to yours. I would leave it as it sits right now.

Nacho SS · 09-07-2009, 07:59 PM

Bad ass machine for sure Unit...love the new rubber.

JayplaySS2 · 09-07-2009, 08:51 PM

We obviously have guys who know about KB Cobras with solid axles and some man boost.

Looks amazing Dan, not sure if it will negatively affect your traps at all but at 3mph, there is room to grow.

It looks as bad as bad can look actually.

GTO JIMMY · 09-07-2009, 11:54 PM

Looks slow.

Whistler · 09-08-2009, 12:20 AM

335s on a 10.5

I can't believe they fit.
That's got to be a blast to drive!
