Congrats on the 10's N/A. Wether it had weight out or not at this point the car is so new there aren't many parts out if any. If the only way to make a pass legit is to leave it in "street form" then what is that? It's to each his own. If you want to be all serious do you need to see one run 10's with stock wheels and tires? Are you allowed to run slicks and lightwheels? Nope that's weight reduction.
I'm all about the "street" deal but some weight reduction isn't a big deal. My 03 Cobra ran the first stock blower 10 second pass back in early 2003 and it was on stock wheels w/drag radials and full weight / kind of. I took off the front sway bar and removed the spare tire. But I guess that wasn't "street trim" It took like 5 years for someone else to do it with light wheels and a better tire but they still did it. My same Cobra went 9.94 with the same full interior and suspension set up as that with the Kenne Bell 2.8H and stock 6speed. That was fully streetable. It depends on what your looking to do, Hey Pete how come your street car has a built 4R70w? Some might say thats not as streetable.....
What happened to the good old days when we use to go to the track with our slicks in the back seat and pulled the stuff out to save some weight? Everyone is so spoiled now with the ET Streets and drag radials lol
Tommy your missing my point , beside whoever thinks that a 4r70w with a automatic valve body and a lock up converter with overdrive isnt streetable is basically an idiot , 99 to 04 have the same transmission .
Find Me a 5R55S that can hold 1000 hp and I would have gladly left it in . I went with the 4R70W b/c I wanted a Automatic Valve body with lock up and overdrive.
If you ran 10s on your Cobra with only the sway bar removed to help transfer weight and the spare tire why would you say its not "Street Trim", but You ran fast still with the interior in it , and thats my point .
So whats the big deal up about being 1st to 11s 10s 9s whatever.
Your reputation is based on the quality of your work not b/c you were 1st to hit a number that means nothing .
We didn't start getting any 2011s down here in Florida until about two weeks ago they started popping up .
BBR hasn't been able to get to the track to make any passes with there car b/c its been raining like crazy and humid as hell .
I bet you if I would have gone and bought a 2011 and gone to the track on bottle I would have gone 10s also, doesn't take much to get a 370 rwhp car throw a 150 shot and go 10s . Hey but thats Me I wouldn't waste my time on a 100 shot .
Im very impressed with how the motor is performing so early on with minimal tuning b/c of software availability .
What I would rather see is how fast the car will go with the interior still in the car . Change your wheels and tires like anybody else will do, and go to the track and run the car. Leave the interior in it like you bought the damn car . We all know the lighter the car the faster she will go , but Im sure people want to see how she will run full weight .
Listen I go to the track, and I leave the spare tire in the back , other people take it out .
From what I understand Evo has 3.73 gears and you guys went with 4.56 , If both cars were run full weight like it came from the dealer now we can see what the gearing difference will do.
Im sure tweeking the suspension at full weight you guys can get it in the 11.30s
