ran my dad in the GN with my cobra at cecil

well i wanted to see what it would run and i went with my dad and he was racing the GN. I ran him both time and he beat me but not bad. waite till i get an exhaust pulley and a tune:evilgrin:
the first run i ran a 13.1@109 and my da ran a 12.7@107 the second run i ran a 12.9@111 and he ran a 12.7@103. but the GN is having some problems i think our chip is holding but the car can't get it to go faster than a 12.6 no matter what the boost or timing or anything. i'm ordering a turbotweak chip hopefully that helps. i think i did all right in the cobra ive only had the car a week and it has 95 cobra R wheels with 245 tires (it came with 275) so i launched real easy i had a 2.1 60' both times i'am happy i ran into the 12s with a bone stock car

Not bad at all for the Cobra. They definitely make the power stock. Just need a good enough driver to bang the gears. Apparently you're not too shabby.

The GN should run waaaay better then that with the work you guys have put into it. I hope you get it straightened out. Should easily see some much better times.. somewhere in the 11's anyway.

It's good to hear that you got a prompt lesson in what the tail lights on a G Body Buick look like.






In all seriousness though, those newer Cobras are good running cars. Great bang for the buck. I'm just giving you crap because you are posting that stuff here... on a Buick board.

P.S. Your Buick should have ran a good bit faster.

well were ordering a new chip and direct scan within the week so hopefully the wakes the car up. i think the race would have been alot closer if i had sticky tires also because in the top end i was catching up fast. soon i plan on getting exhaust intake and shifter so that should really help the car should put over 400 to the wheels
