Got-Boost?

The new 5.0's move pretty good. I really like the BOSS but can't wait to see the next step for the Cobra/GT500...

Good luck, there are a ton out there and to many people just about giving them away...

No, that is a pic in tech before the racing started...

REPOST but whatever....more rep/hits for my bud Bill... :thumbup: There is no reason to launch harder, the 1-Mile tracks have ZERO prep. According to the logs he was already spinning, a harder launch would have just made him go sideways worse. Don't worry, he'll be back with some modified fairings and shoot for 290+ and probably over 300mph+ in 1.5-Mile if he can make it to Loring this year...

That will always be a problem when no tire is rated for those speeds and kind of tough sticking a 1700whp+ car...

The new track needs a little work but typical growing pains.....wind was HORRIBLE!!!!

So what do these cars typically run with BPU and how do they handle? What other vehicle auto-x times are they comparable with?

They are on a new facility this year so there are going to be some growing pains with the runways. Looks/Sounds like the bumps caused more than the bikes issues..

Actually that isn't high pressure at all but pretty standard. It's better to have a little more air than under inflation. Low pressure creates more heat and is more likely to fail at high speeds. Plus less rolling resistance, etc..etc...heck, I've seen guys run 50+... For a dragstrip where you accel for a short time and slow down it may be fine. However, on the street/track where you are doing high speeds for a longer period of time, I would stay away from them. Not to mention some of the Shinko's are only W rated (168mph)...

I was going to say 30+ seconds...slow...lol! Bike wasn't low at all, plenty of room. Tire just couldn't hanlde it... What's left of it. http://homepage.ntlworld.com/barry.miller.200mph/tyre.jpg I don't think technically any of them are rated for over 186mph but there are plenty of people going 250+ on them. After Continentals 220+ car tires that have been released, now they are running an add for Bill and his 278mph runs... http://im1.shutterfly.com/media/47a1db24b3127ccefd5f6906ff1500000030O00AZNWrhk1aOGIPbz4e/cC/f%3D0/ps%3D50/r%3D0/rx%3D720/ry%3D480/ Hopefully that will get more testing, support and higher ratings for the motorcycle class guys...

He went 176mph on that pass when it blew...

This crash was at the Elvington 1-Mile race May 10th.... What happens when a tire explodes doing top speed runs... Avon Storm was the tire running 42psi!

I vote "D".....something else. Those are all the most popular wheels and you see them everywhere. As much as I like the CCW's, I know at least 8 people with them....

It's pathetic really that people don't have $2k to there name without moving/pawning/selling something to get it.... Aren't people sick of that crap and living that way? I remember when I was first on my own at 18-years old going through that and the feeling. I decided right then that I NEVER wanted to live that way EVER AGAIN... http://www.daveramsey.com/new/baby-steps/ +1 Dave recommends that as well... http://www.daveramsey.com/new/baby-step-3/

Based on the headlights, looks pretty NEW also...

I've seen quite a few, they actually aren't bad in person..

No harm...

....because I've done it!

https://www.mytotalmoneymakeover.com/ Any time you settle on a debt, it still shows a DING on your credit. So you calling and trying to do a payoff for less than you owe is STILL going to show on your credit down the road. If you are that far behind you need to start selling stuff, buy a beater and pay that crap off ASAP!

I went 13.6 with BOTH my '97 Cobra's stock. He should be 13.2-.4 or faster on a decent track...

Some non-driving ass people.... Yes they did... I've seen a few Mach-1's go 12's stock.... BS....I've personally run a friends stock 03 GT to 13.9 on a shitty day at Kil-Kare....and know several on better tracks/weather that have gone 13.6's...

Think he could crash it anymore, it had ZERO plastics on it...

What did the previous owner say? How was the car treated? History? Times, etc?

+1 No reason to spend the time/money to swap when you can get a complete car ready to run for less...

Keyless ignition, only way to deactivate it or the power stays on...
