Red S/C Cobra

So I caught up with a couple of Mustangs on my way to WalyMart with the wife a little bit ago. There were two black ones. I guess the nicer one that was next to us gave me some kind of weird look, my wife said. She described it as if he was giving us hte yeah right look. So I caught him at a red and let him have. He didnt look over before the light turned so I couldnt really verify if he was gonna go for it or not. I went anyway and he didnt. I did it just to wipe the smerk off his face if he was giving me. So about a mile later, there is a red Cobra pulled over and the two black Mustangs slow down and let hium in. Turns out they are all friends and he was waiting for them. So right away we catch the light and he says he wants to run. Bad part is that ive been playing with hte EBC lately and cant get it to stay at 20psi. It will start out at a solid 17 then over boost to 21/23. If I set it lower it is perfect at about 18psi :dunno: Ill figure that out later. So I spool it up as the other light is turning yellow and get an ok 15lb launch. The truck spun bad to the right which I think kind of slowed me down. I hit about 70 and still was holding him off by about 5 cars. This is where I started to overboost. It shot up to 23 again and a big puff of smoke came out probably blinding the people behind me :lol: He started pulling on me pretty hard right when that happened. So I go about my business and caught him at yet another light and he tells me he wants to go run somewhere else. We pull over at a gas station to discuss a location and I asked him what all he had done. He said full exhaust, pulley, chipping, and meth. He was on street tires though. So we head up to the spot and line em up. I turned the boost down to the 18psi level just because I didnt want to overboost again. So I get the truck wound up and let it go on green, had about 4-5 cars on him through the intersection and again had awful wheel spin. By the time I hit the 1/4 mark he was still a good 6 cars back. That run the truck never seeemed to bog or do anything wrong, it was nice and smooth. We pulled over and he told he couldnt hook up for shit and said to race him at the track. I gave him my # so maybe one of these days we'll get a better run.

Yeah he was S/C. It is nice, just kind of wish he hadnt spun so bad to get a better run in and see what he really had. He was pretty cool, gave me props and all. Hopefully next time hell get better traction and Ill be ready with my tune updated and hopefully some different tires other than these POSs I have on now. You know i forgot to add that hte guy in the black Mustang pulled into the gas station as well and as it turns out he was giving us the I wouldnt race you if youpaid me look. He came saying there was no way he would run because I supposedly launched on him last year and that was enough for him. I thought it was kinda funny.

Good kill! But why leave with so much boost that you spin? 3000 stall and a 20g with a 57-58 mm wheel in it. You shouldnt have to leave with more than 5-6psi. I street race a bunch and you want to leave as hard as posible without spinning.

I ran my buddy?s ?03 Cobra from a dig a couple months back. He had it pulley/exhaust/tuned to 460whp (no meth). From a dig, I threw him a beating. It was about 4 cars right out of the hole with him gaining nothing until well into third. Due to the cold whether, my cheap boost controller is causing an overboost issue (popping and clouds of soot at 17psi) so I was pedaling it the whole time.

Even from a third gear roll, I could hang with him initially, due to his total lack of traction. We went out in his car afterward. It is retarded-quick when it actually hooks (just shy of 100mph). Seat of the pants tells me he will trap in the 115+mph range. With his driving, this should get him in the 13?s.

Re: Red S/C Cobra

It all started when I put the ZR1 wheels on. They have michelin pilots and I have to say its the crappiest tire Ive ever had on there. My Z06 wheels with the sumitomos hooked all the tiem everytime even with 17 psi. I cant wiat to put them back on. Im not sure exactly what year it was but it was the S/C once, slight "wing" on truck lid, like the Impala, and I know hte S/C hood, just dont know what year those were, Im thinking 02? - 04?

Fix your transfer case. "pull to the right" and "bad wheel spin" are classic symptoms of a bad viscious clutch.

I dont think thats it. My AWD works great, I drive it in the snow all the time.

Re: Red S/C Cobra

i dont see a reason to leave with more than 10 psi...

i leave with 10 and i get a small protest from the tires, then it flat out flies!!!

15-17 psi is just asking to break things, espically in a 700r4.

now with a 4l80e that's a different story........

Re: Red S/C Cobra

Ive never gotten good 60's with less than 15psi. They always end up about 1.9's and with 15+ they can be anywhere from 1.8-1.7

Nice kill! It's funny for me to see members over here posting kill stories about SVT Cobras here. The Regal doesn't quite have the oomph these trucks to take one of those bad boys out.
