I'm not that serious that I would spend the money to fill my tires with nitrogen. Hell, I'm still running too soft rear springs with shocks off of an Expedition from the wrecking yard. They were even coil overs that I pulled the coils off of.

I have a set of race craft springs here at the shop that would probably work pretty well with the torque arm.

Do you know what rate they are? The MM Road &Track rears I have now are 280.

So to stay with my I'm cheap theme I bought a pair of front springs off a Ford Ranger for $35 at Pick-a-Part and modified them to work on the rear of the Cobra. They seem to work fairly well.

Sorry we I don't have any video from today's fun well Guy actually has one lap that he took with his phone and got us black flagged but I did beat my previous best. In fact I went faster each time out. My fastest in the first session was a 1:59.750 which was the third fastest for the group. We ended up not running in the second session because my oil dip stick blew out. In the third session I ran 1:57.9?? which was the fastest for the session so I got to start the fourth in the pole position. Guy didn't run with me in the fourth session so I was a couple hundred pounds lighter and ran my new best of 1:54.936 which again was the fastest for the group.

Feel like you have any more time to shave with your current setup?

I'd be willing to bet with brake tweaking, and some sway bar play he could cut up to 3 seconds off. The brake system is hardly ideal.

[94cobra69ss396]

Yes, I can still improve. The car still pushes a little so I think it could use a little more camber. Plus there are a couple of sections I can still improve my line and my braking on. But even with that I don't think it has more than half a second. One second at the most. If I remember correctly Carlos was running around a 1:54 in his Vette when he was running his R888 tires which are equivalent to the NT01 I'm running.

A brake change would be a big expense. I could try a bigger sway bar in the rear. I still have the factory Cobra sway bars front and rear and if I remember correctly the Cobra used a stiffer front bar and softer rear bar than the GT did but I could be wrong.
