I watched that race from the sidelines. I knew that Cobra didn't sound stock when I first heard it, but it wasn't that loud either. After watching it run, I was impressed - definately a quick car.
427Cya - was the yellow C6 Z06 a friend of yours as well? Looked like he was running some sticky tires in the rear, was he stock? I think he was running 11.8's or somewhere around there.

all the dyno #s in the world arent worth a **** when you combine a turbo and a manual.

i was able to hop in my friends TT 3000GT manual making north of 600awhp, and drive it just fine against a cobra. never driven a high hp turbo car in my life.
He told me before the race "start shifting when it hits 5 grand, cuz the turbo will smack the hell out of 7k before you know it"
that knowledge in tow i did fine. I understand theres a big diff in 1000 and 600, but i still dont buy that story. he shouldnt have built it that way if he doesnt know how to drive it.

Yeah sometimes a 1000 hp turboed manual driver is harder to put together than the car.
I know for a fact that there is no way in hell I would get decent times in a 1000 hp 5-speed Cobra or even good times in my Z06 if I was pushing 700 hp.

...and I'm talking 1/4 mile. Plenty of guys are running 9.50's with a stock
T56 and a turbo kit.

Plenty of guys but not all of them, he was talking bad drivers. Lots of those everywhere you go, manuals and turbos are a lot harder to use compared to stalled autos with big cubes.
Bad turbo drivers - I think they originated from Japan, something like JDM spec or something like that...
They're the ones who's boost gauges come with a free list of excuses.

Wolverine's (aka Wil) put down ~1000rwhp and traps 152ishrwhp. So 137 traps indicates he is making a lot less.
My buddy has a full weighted Rousch with a built 2v turbo (600-625rwhp) and traps 116 in the 1/8. So that would be around 135ish in the 1/4. So I think that cobra was in the neighborhood of 625-725. Still both badass cars. -Mark

how can you build boost on a launch and keep boost on shifts with a manual?

That and the times are like a million times more consistent and you never have to worry about going from 3rd to 2nd on a bad day.

I can clarify on the turbo cobra...
38XX lbs. DVD player w/ LCD screen. 10" Subwoofer. 6 Point Roll cage. 17" wheels all around. A/C. Power steering. T56. Stock IRS (IRS Brace
).
On 24psi of boost made 900 rwhp. Stock bottom end.
10.089 @ 14X is the best so far. That pass happened today with the car cutting out throughout the track because of clutch slippage.
Any questions, I will be more than happy to answer them.

It just does.
It just does.
^Those questions are actually really easy.^
Ask him a toughy!!!!
Why do we care if a Cobra is on the street with 900 hp?
Why because we want to know WHICH Cobra is on the street with 900hp so we can avoid 'em.
