There might be a 10+ yo daily driver that will give you Mustang jockeys a run for it but before you start hating you better watch the video and remember I have an 04 Cobra. You wanna run it? No Problem just wander out any Wednesday Night, I'll be there running Pure Street and I will give you a shot.
Seems like it has been 5 years but it has only been 2+ since I have made more than a couple passes at the track. Last year two trips after a few mods to this 99SS and both resulted with a busted rear, first one was the 10bolt and could have been expected but then after putting a built 9" Moser in there and have the D-Locker fail, WTF?
This was my third pass at the first TnT at LVD this year, first two featured driver failures, but the old Camaro felt frisky everytime down the track. this 12.77 beat my best by 2 tenths with a horrible 60ft spinning all the way thru 1st and short shifting it so I could get some track data downloaded. My 3 yo Nitto's have some rubber left but I struggled to get them to hook so they will be getting replaced by the new MikeyT ET Street Radials when it gets warmer. I have lots of work to do to figure out the new setup of tire/rear air bag pressures and what to launch at, who knows I might even have to invest in some adjustable shocks like I have in my Cobra. I don't think I will need anything to run 12.5, just some more passes to get the feel back. Low twelves is what you would expect with an stock 03-04 Cobra with street tires, at least that was as fast as I could go before modding it into pieces.
