No way to tell for sure. I'd guess it's a stock Cobra with a twin turbo set up. His HP figs are no doubt mythical and unrealistic. I'd guess more like 500RWHP tops with the boost turned up. If I was him I'd start saving up for IRS parts.

lol 500rwhp with the boost turned up? Are you serious?

Stock Eaton cars with bolt ons make almost 500whp, how would a twin 61mm car make the same or less on higher boost? Come on now...

Maybe the hp figures are skewed but who knows? Tell the dude strap it on a dyno and prove you wrong.

Stroking an engine changes the amount of liters, yes. If that's what you're asking. You can make the piston's stroke longer and the volume of the displacement of the engine gets larger.




The story sounds somewhat believable, from what I can understand... lol
My brain hurts trying to translate though.

Update us with some videos someday, if he ever runs it. But in all honesty, I foresee 1 less Cobra in the world after this kid starts using that 800+rwhp... If it's all true, lol

I have a friend with a stock longblock singled 1000rwhp 03 cobra...the hellion twin kits advertise 800rwhp on the twins; not quite sure what's on the 'supposed' car, but it can be accomplished.

Only 500rwhp on high boost.....lol...what a joke. Dyno sheets can't lie.

Ask him when he's ready to race, let's see him get traction.

Hard to believe all that for $25k, IMO.

If that's the truth..then I need this guy to help me get a deal on my next car.

Numbers are easily doable..the price on the car sounds unrealistic though

If its compound boost, its easy 1000rwhp. Stock drivetrain wont last for ****. Those 10 spline input on the trans will snap quick along with the clutch

did some research and found the car....this kids 16 lol and did get it for 25k....im building a 383stroker and running a paxton 7-8 lbs....full bolt on and suspension and heads and intake ect...wounder if i can take him i buil;t my car daddy bought his lol

well he could be for real lol but he dunno if its t3 t4 or what brand and he acts like its a bullydog with stages is it ?

I purchased this car 3 years ago with the intent of modding it out which I have done, however I now lack the time or the interest of keeping the car. All of the work was done by HPP out of Lewisville, TX (http://hppmotorsports.com/) The new motor has around 250 miles on it so it is hardly broken in. This car has the ability of high boost 20#'s plus. I have not pushed the boost up past 17#'s because I wanted to break the motor in a little before I did and also have the car re-dynoed, but like I mentioned before I haven't done so. The car sits in the garage and is started every once in a while and driven around the block.
