Last season I ran a 12.6 having a problem going into 4th I coasted though the traps in netrual w/ about 150+ feet to go on street tires. I know the car as it sits is a 11 second car on street tires Eagle F1's. I got 2 other runs in w/ the same problem. Now the problems is corrected, I put a firewall adjuster on it and quadrant. Havent been back since.

 

yeah its amazin how much that firewall adjuster and quadrant really help! I thought my new cluth was screwed until I did the same, and issue was gone!
Yeah you definitly will be in the 11's but stop wasting your time with street tires! get some sticky tires and give it hell!

 

Thats the plan

 

The one that did it in front of me barely moved, so I don't think he wheel hopped, and if he did, he wouldn't of had time to react before it broke. But as 02gt said, as long as you have the bushings and braces you will have less trouble, but hissssnsvt in MD has all that and he breaks 2-3 level 5's a season. He's running mid to low 10's though.

 

brakes look good!

 

I am not a track whore by any means. For all those IRS doubters, the bitch can still hook at the track.

1.46 6.45@109.93 9.99@140.37 Whipple (w/ 75 shot)

 

Yup.

His car is well built and is detuned to run 10's. He was the runner up in WFC9

 

Nobody says that they wont hook, but reallity is that you are driving on borrowed time. If you ever go to a not well prepped track you will spin and hoop and your IRS will brake unlike a solid which will live for another day.
Shit I personally know 2 local cobras that have broke their half shafts on the street! NOT RACING!! And they have all the bushings, spacers and braces you can get.

 

Im not going to argue that a solid rear is better for straight line but thats not all im concerned w/. Ive seen sooooo many people blow solid rears at the track. I know a solid rear can be made to handle just as good or better than IRS (Kevin insert GR-40 comment) but thats like someone saying "My Highly Modified 10 Second Turbo Honda is better than your Ferrari F430 because its faster." Weapon X just came out w/ new Cobra IRS parts, tubular upper and lower control arms ect... The haters are going to say the IRS is too heavy and poorly deigned this that and another thing. It is one heavy bitch, it could been better designed better but it wasnt, people just arent willing to sink the time and money into because it costs more (Because things break more often) which I understand; but I am willing to do so. I want to find the complete limits of a Level 6 IRS which few have. You are going to say what a level 6 IRS, well a IRS w/ all the strengthening componets + Tubular Upper Lower control arms and sway bars.

P.S. Kevin can you shoot me that quote whenever.

 

*and just when i thought mustangs were meant to be fast, we're wagering cash on who can stop quickest *

and o yea, solid rear FTW
