Good races!!

First run and second he kept missing third LOL (he wasnt used to all this new power). The 3rd run from 60 was good. Hang on 3rd, hang on 4th and let off on 5th... Slicks and skinnies no swaybar=crazy at 140+ lol Good races non the less!!! Brandon's vette is no joke!
Cobra had no internal work done. Stock gears.
Heres the vid from my camera:

Ace's video is much, much more clear.
That third run, they looked pretty even till the Cobra got out of it.

Garth...LOL
Only reason the 3rd race was close, 60 is better mph for him and not me. That is why I gave him his race since 2nd gear before he misses I leave him. You do the math. Wish he would have hit 5th on that run......I was ready to and my car loves 5th gear.

Good job brandon! Its awesome you can take down a car that makes a pretty good amount of power over you! I gotta say ace you guys had me pretty curious when you unloaded the terminator off of a damn semi truck! Lol. Ace does he live here? I think they should try it from a dig!
ACESCOBRA
Aug 5 2009, 07:42 AM
LOL that part was cool. He drives, as his job, a 10 car enclosed trailer and he came over to pick up his Cobra and take it back to Detroit. He had a couple of Super Snakes in there too.
From a dig it wouldve been nice... He had slicks and skinnies with no sway bar and a 2 step done in the tune set at 4.5k
QUIKZ06
Aug 5 2009, 12:25 PM
If he ever brings it back I am down for a dig, my car works great from a dig. I might be on my E.T Streets, who knows. Hell, I am even down for some more rolls races if he comes back.

What are you guys talking about me doing a flyby though? I didnt even drive my car yesterday. I texted antonio to see if he was going to the meet but he had plans with the gf, so I didnt go. If I had known you guys would be there I would have been down to go.

A White C6 with black rims and a nice loud exhaust went by on the freeway, it seemed like he saw us then droped a few gears and took off.
It was on Wednesday.
I'm always there.

OOOOHHHH!! Dude I was on my way home from work and took the 95 instead of the 215. Getting onto the 95 from 215, a cadillac XLR tried to race me, so i put it in third and went. I usually get off work around 10 and I hear the meet is over by then, so I didnt think to stop by. I wasnt looking over at in n out, the xlr was on my left. needless to say he got a whoopin.
Damn thats too funny.

Brandon you vette is crazy fast and that cobra dude need auto not 6 speed You should race with frank's customer sliver cobra that went low 10 sec like you . Stop wasting your gas with easy kill car where drive's need mod. 500+rwhp cars with no driver mod = 3 gear miss and spanked

I am sure I will line up with that car one of these days. Either at the track or for a roll on. Either way it will be a fun run. I would not say these are easy kills, just won the race.

Aug 9 2009, 09:01 PM
Great runs guys.
I help but to wonder what the cobra would do without missing gears. Put Frankie (sonic blue lightning)behind the wheel of that beast and see it go 10's

Aug 9 2009, 11:13 PM
I have never meet brandon but he is sure one hell of a driver and can handle his car very well, that cobra dude just need to learn to shift fast and not missing 3rd gear. I have change 2 diffent shifter in my stang from steeda to now mgw but I do miss shift some times. I think it's ford POS termac trans . Long time ago I drove my coworker vette ( was 02 zo6) and it shifted like hot knife thrue butter.
When quickz06 going low 10 with bolt on and juice I know he got mad driver skills, If his vette was driven by this cobra guy then he might have hit high 12 . LOL

What transmission fluid and how much in your Tremec?
Have you tried a Pro 5.0 w/ Triax Handle?
I never missed a shift and they were lightning fast in my GT. (BTW the camera car was a GT that got a Kenne Bell 1.7 installed that night)

Buddy that is some nice clean shifting , see you need to get back with mustnag it's love you . That kb stang need driver mods. Now with mgw you cannot put any other handle as it round insteal flat for shifter handle area .I always use royal purple but this time just few months ago I put amsoil atf almost 4 quarts or put in till it came out of the fill hole , and it's seems to help out alot. I think my trans synchro problem as I have ford lovely 2 gear grind.

Your welcome . My turbo kit is cheap and working pretty well. I am not trying to make 1000rwhp so I think this kit will hold up just fine. Even for china made kit the quality and weld looks really nice. Those china fu**ers makes everything now even turbo kit I am going to the mm on august 28th , come say hi.

Thanks, the Goat shifts like that now I'm just so afraid to overshift it. I went through I think 4 (I forget) 3650 Transmissions in that Mustang in about 3 years. T56's cost a little more.
The KB stang got some tires and a retune and he would walk me every run, but he didn't pass me until about 90ish. Funny part is it was an auto car.
Sounds like you have it filled to the proper capacity (out the fill hole), I heard bad things about RP in transmissions. I believe I used Redline ATF and it shifted fairly smooth, may try that if the Amsoil still gives you issues.
