0 to 60

[ROBERT GWALTNEY]

what times are you getting from 0 to 60...you can download an app for your phone called aDYNO i turned a 5.1 but thats with goodyear eagle II tires...plan on doing better with new tires

[WardL]

Can't wait to try it. I'll have to get my wife's iPhone as I have an old Crackberry. How does a great phone like the Blackberry go out of business so quickly?

[Hotfingrs]

Using the formula found here... I'm well under 2 seconds....

I have a G-Tech Pro RR, and according to it, my stock, 420HP, 4WD, 4600+ lb. SRT-8 Jeeps runs 0-60 in 4.522 sec. I would think a 2200-2400 pound car with 350-400 HP would be in the 3.5-3.8 range, allowing for vehicle/driver variables.

The very first listing after their names is the 60' ET listing

Dan,
I can't tell if you are joking or not. The OP is talking about 0-60 MPH, not 0-60 feet.

I measured street driving 0-60 mph on my G-tech meter several years ago. On the street, without preheating the tires, I was consistently 2.8 seconds 0-60 mph the couple times I checked it. The meter showed my 60 foot time as 1.8 seconds, which sounds about right on unprepped pavement (public street). Cheers.

a few years back Coach was going to change his 5.0 EFI motor. I suggested he take Doc and his G-Tec to check his 0 to 60 time before he installed the 408.

a few days later he was complaining about his 4.9 times. I asked if he had the top on his Cobra and he answered, Yes. Did you have all that junk in the trunk? Yes. 60 lbs of stuff. Did Doc ride with you? Yes. How cold was it? 45 degrees. It was January.

Well not bad time on street tires in an industrial park at night, cold night.
He never did check out the 408 before he sold the car.

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.

[twin turbo]

Buzz, that is impressive on BFG's. Must be like trying to accelerate in the rain with those tires, lol. Cheers.

[Voyager]

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).

[Buzz]

I think in my case it actually helps that I only have 450 ft/lbs of torque, unlike the stump pullers some of you guys are running.

[ItBites]

According to the formula Hotfinger found: 2.3 sec for 0-60.

I actually think it is right around 2.5, given my 60' is a little slow for the 1/8th mile time and speed I get. My Cobra is set-up for road racing and I dont run wrinkle walls. I do have to baby the beast off the line, but she spools up pretty quick after the initial launch.

[Buzz]

Voyager - funny about the squealing - I find that mine hardly squeal much at all when they break loose on acceleration - even on good dry pavement, but they do howl embarrassingly when pushed too hard in corners.

Weird… Mine chirp loudly off idle and squeal when they spin. I’m running 22 PSI in the rears. To the opposite, I have ultra high performance tires on a heavily modified Miata and they have minimal squeal…more like a scrubbing sound when they slip/drift.

[Buzz]

Could be the pressure difference - I run 27psi. Mine scrub away with a slight whirring sound, quieter and less smoke than other softer tires I have run. No tires have lasted on the rear of my car anywhere near as long as those BFG's. Just for fun, I'll go down to 22psi and see what happens.

[madmaxx]

I tried I apple app, pretty cool and it free, I tested in a dodge challenger v6 and got 6 sec, I try the cobra this weekend

[Silverback51]

I think this will be my next Cobra related purchase.

GTech-Pro Model SS

So far I have not read a single bad review on them.
