1/4 miles times
 
Hey guys i'm new here. i live in south florida (Coral Springs next to Fort Lauderdale). My dream car is a 427' shelby cobra, i'm only 17 so i need to start saving, my dad got me into muscle cars when i was little and im glad because i hate those little ricers (imports) that people think are fast but really they are so slow they couldn't get out of there own way.My dad had a 1966 ford mustang running 13.5 and then he showed me a 427 shelby cobra and i fell in love. he told me what that car could do and stuff like that and i have read about the cobra in books. There is a car show every friday down here called towers they have some cobra's when i go which is like every teo weeks. My dad and i go. Now that's a car you don't play with. That's a car you should have great respect for. well let me get on i just wanted to know What does your shelby cobra run in the 1/4 mile ?

10.5's with the 3:08 rear and low 10's with the 4:10 gear...just got a call from my engine builder that my motor is done..had old one freshened and changed the cam, and had 3/8" taken out of each intake runner. Old cam specs .667 lift and 264 duration at 50 on a 108 degree centerline New specs .667 lift and 291 duration at 50 on 107 degree centerline I was looking to move the power band down a little and get more power. New cam picks up 30 horse and 35 lbs of torque at 2000 rpm and gives me a little wider power band Have to wait to get back to the track and see what difference it made...old shift point was 7200 with a 8200 redline....:D :D

Hi,
You should check out the run and gun results. Street cobra's run in the 12's and 13's ,race cobra's are down to the 9's. The fastest cobra I know of is Colin from Alberta, he's gone 8.34 ET, looking to get into the 7's this year.
