I'm up for it but I need a lot of time. I still need to get the meth injection, new track tires, new brake pads and rebuild my calipers. I won't be able to do it until probably next year.

Just remember that my car will be 100% stock!

I'm not looking to beat you in your Mustang, I'm going to try and get close to what you ran in your Vette with the R888. I'll be running the same brake pads (Hawk Blue) with stock Cobra brakes, NT01 which are similar to the R888 (275 front and 315 rear) and the only suspension I have are lower control arms, springs and a panhard bar.

My best the one time I did the Roval was a 2:02 but that was on 245s all the way around and I found out that my rear brakes weren't working. I was also running Hawk HPS pads. The car stops a lot better after I fixed that and they still need the calipers rebuilt so I think they will work even better. That was also with me and my buddy in the car which brings the weight to 3850 lbs.

And a bit less power than now too right?

94cobra69ss396 08-02-2013 05:21 PM

Yes, I ran the car on the pump gas tune which was 429rwhp and 387rwtq. I'll still be running the pump gas tune but it now makes 467rwhp and 490rwtq. That 100 extra rwtq should help.

I think the 1:52 he ran was with the previous motor, which AIR, was about 465WHP in the Vette. You definitely have more power under the curve with those torque figures, but you a few hundred pounds heavier at race weight I suppose. You should be able to approach it. I say 1:54.5~

Whattaya say Carlos?

10 Seconds is a lot of time to drop and a 1:52 is very fast for anything. Thats faster than most GTS and most Z06 both with Hoosiers. Please let me know when you decide to go. I will even drive it for you when you get scared!

You're funny!

The only time I've been a little unsettled in a car was at Adams with Ron driving the Cobra. Dude is not right in the head. He was the fastest of everything there in every session.

I think you're right. Hard to imagine reaching a 1:52, but mid 1:50s, yeah.

94cobra69ss396 08-03-2013 12:12 AM

I know I won't be able to get a 1:52. Realistically I'm thinking that I'll run around a 1:58 or maybe a 1:57 at most. My Cobra has stock brakes, somewhat stock suspension and weighs more than a stock Cobra due to the entertainment system. The only thing I really have over a stock Cobra is power but I still want to try to see how close I can get to his mighty Vette when equiped with equivalent tires.

Carlos, did you ever run your Mustang on the Roval? What times did you put down in it and what did it have done to it? I thought I remember you saying you did suspension and brakes upgrades.
