I Went back this week because I knew the car had a lot more in it. Last week my best pass was a 13.42 @ 107

Last night my best time was 12.98 @ 111. I didn't change a thing on the car! She's still bone stock with a K&N FIPK. I know the car can do better, my second to last run I missed 4th (I was so mad i just put it in neutral and coasted) and turned a 13.1 @ 92mph. lol!

Feels great to be in the 12 second club, I'm determined to put down 12.7s. I think the MPH is there, its all in the launch. Remember I'm doing all this on stock size sumihomos.
I was psyched, so i figured i'd post!

I think my buddies '04 Cobra the best we got was around 12.6@116 with the stock goodyears and JLT cold air/catback as only mods. I'd have to ask him or look over on SVTP. Then with 2.93 pulley/tune and 275 Nitto 555R it was 12.09@119 with a 2.1 60ft time IIRC. Then with better weather and catted x-pipe 11.82@122? His best trap was a 123.9 I think a few weeks ago. He just sold the car though...time to move up!

what's he moving up to?

my trap is low for a stock cobra? really?

what's a DA?

He is going to get a GT500.

A little, but not enough to worry about.

DA is Density Altitude

It's basically an adjusted elevation taking into account all the weather variables and the actual elevation. So if it is hot and humid out the air density is lower so the DA would be high, equaling slower times/trap speeds.

Some tracks in cold weather end up with a negative DA! ATCO is known for that, as it is already a really low track and close to sea level.
