Anway I just wanted to share my first experience, Ive never been one to sugar coat my own racing times etc.. I will be going in 2 weeks and will post hopefully some better numbers.The 2004 Cobra was VERY fun I love that car but this car hands down is just a better ride, interior etc....

Let me preface and say this is my first time back at a track in 5 years and first time with this car. 6 speed manuel 3.31 gears-Perrelli P zero tires 245s. I know I suck and dont need to be ridiculed but sheesh I know I shift pretty **** good but the 60ft is killing me. Suffice to say Im buying drag radials ASAP. FYI was trapping higher than an 2005 Vette who was running 2.0 60 foot at a 13.06 105 qtr mile. I will be practing as well.

Is this youtube clip you? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3mq8Nfx35Kk
uhh i was there, i talked to the guy, i saw the car. Its a brand new 5.0 and it even had the new Nitto NT05R's out back. I just had to laugh because this guy had a big head on his shoulders and kept talking **** to everyone about his "sicc fast" ride lol. So that is why we got some of his runs on video because we thought it was hilarious that he was running 14's and some 13's

No worries, we've all been there. The best 60 I ever cut on my Goodyear's was a 2.17...before the Whipple. After the Whipple and MT drag radials...1.7's. 1.7's are pedestrian but I'll take them. Get some DR's and practice, practice, practice! You'll have to experiment with tire pressure, launch rpm, clutch modulation, etc...no pressure though!

No different than 05-10's. Even though great drivers were getting mid 13's the average driver was pushing mid 14's to close to 15. So we shall see a lot of mid to upper 13's with these cars and the average driver. Like to see more auto times to see how consistent they can run.

Yea, you're pretty bad bro lol
just messing with you though, some more practice and you will be ok
How are you launching? just dropping the clutch at 2300rpms?
You should try slipping the clutch, I leave at 4500rpm slipping the clutch on street tires, with a nice small chirp.
