'05 E55 runs 10.95 @ 131
download link - 3.6mb
1) 2005 E55, full weight @ 4200lbs.
2) Kleemann Stage 2 w/ LSD (more boost, shorty headers)
3) 16" CCW Classic custom wheels that clear the caliper by MM's
4) 16" Mickey Thompson Street Radials @ 14 cold PSI thanks to the CCW wheels. These hook even better than the BF DR's. Air pressure in front tires increased to 48 cold PSI.
5) Air filters removed before run.
6) NOS Ford 4.6 liter dry shot kit fashioned into a MB wetshot by Tim (around a 65 shot).

1) increase boost
2) headers
3) 65 shot NOS
4) remove air filters
5) drag radials
VERY basic mods.
now I'm no Mustang expert but I'm pretty a Cobra needs a LOT more than such basic mods as this, to run 10's. First of all, you need a supercharger or turbo.... this MB already has a supercharger.

Oh yea and it ran that time WITHOUT Nitrous and with the air filter on. Not bad for a Turbo I6.
yea, and 30 lbs of boost

um, not really. That's pretty damn impressive.
Cobra is lighter, more responsive to mods, a cobra running that quick would probably be putting down the same amount of power, if not, just a little less

It was 17psi IIRC, stock they are set to 6 psi which is good for 322HP. Stock they come with big Garrett GT40 turbo, not bad for a family sedan.
