dayum you can drive, not back for an automatic.

Are you manually shifting, or leaving it in D

I was wondering if you were going to add that cobra hood emblem.


Was that Cobra R stock? I see you allowed him to pass but man he was flying

Looked like his right hand never left the steering wheel.

ROTFLMMFAO ...

Yeah, that track was awesome ... I am soooo jealous of all the guys that
live in Chi-Town ... to have a facility like that 15 minutes away would ROCK.

(of course I would be much broker!!)

Daniel, yeah, that kickdown spin is hard to control... I did finally figure out
that if you don't slow down, you don't kick down ... I'm gonna see if Sal
can change the kickdown to a little lower MPH. That would help.

The tires are the leftover GAC compound from last year ... I have run
three weekends on them and they still are OK!!! I think they have some left ...

Are you manually shifting, or leaving it in D
Just turning on and off the OD on the really long straights. The Cobras
pretty much run it in third ...

Nice video!! Is that with stock suspension?
Ayup ... (and do I have land in Florida that you would love!)
Roush Lowering kit, then Western Chassis lower control arms out front
paired with DJM (Damn Junk Manufacturer) uppers, and Stan Martin's
1200 pound front springs with the Stan Martin Panhard. Stock shackles,
305 30 18 GAC Hoosiers at 44 lbs. 14 in front Brembo floating rotor brakes.

I think that's about it ...

That's some mighty fine drivin' for a BIG OL' TRUCK!!!
I showed some local guys the video and didn't tell them it was the truck.
After it was over they asked "what kinda car was that video taken in?"
You shoulda seen the look of disbelief. Now don't get me wrong. The truck
will NEVER be a competitive vehicle in open track. But it is a HOOT just
showing what it CAN do.

One thing that does get to me is that some guys won't let you pass no matter
what. I had one that ignored the "overtaking vehicle" blue flag for three laps
until they finally "Black Flagged" him. Surely they see that 5,000 brick barreling
up on top of them in every corner?

If you guys haven't done this yet, come on out to Texas, Pikes Peak, Nashville,
Gingerman, Putnam and hang wit the "One Percenters" ...
Stan's the president, and Daniel is right up there!

Thanks, Tuner Magician!!! IT worked like a champ ... No more burned spark plugs.

I really think the added boost contributed to the issue Sal, as I shoulda
listened to YOU. even a 4 lber is tough with 30 minute sessions like that.

That's why the Cobra R's ran awaya and hid on the straights. I was running
stock pulley !!!

Whatta think about my kick down idea? Can you control the RPM or MPH when that happens?

Thanks so very much for the QUICK service on the tunes too!!!



Cliff
