When I had mine I was in the 2.7 to 3.0 range for zero to 60 MPH on street tires consistently. I never tried it with the road racing tires on it. Also the streets made a difference as some of them are hard to jump from pothole to pot hole on.

Wow Ron - that would make your Cobra one of the quickest street Cobras out there! What were you running under the hood of that thing buddy?

I have no way of getting a truly accurate measurement of my 0 - 60MPH time here but my Unique with about 500 HP & 450 ft/lbs torque, 3.54:1 rear gear and 2450lb weight stopwatches a tick over 4 seconds using the (probably inaccurate) speedometer. That's on 275 60 BFG tires at 27psi. The rock hard BFG's go up in smoke with the slightest encouragement, but they're the only tires that would last worth a damn on the roads down here.

I’m with Buzz. I’ve tried several half-hearted 0-60 runs and on each one, the 275 60 BFG tires go up in smoke. I get a far amount of wheel hop also. I’m trying to wear the BFGs out, but they squeal like pigs (which attracts too much unwanted attention).
