Turbo this turbo that, it doesn't matter, the car doesn't come with a turbo. Its N/A, and spending thousands upon thousands of dollars on a turbo kit is pointless when all its going to do it grendade on you. Way to go, the Japs lose just like always.

Yep my car is underpowered, buy somehow runs in the 13's, just like a stock cobra. The majority of cobras, run low 13's, some have cracked 12's. But again, this is not the norm. They trap at 110, far from fast either, considering EVO IX's do the same thing.
350z's, own a cobra in all categories besides 1/4 times(which in the videos I posted, can clearly be remedeed). But straightline performance, doesnt determine the definition, of what a sports car is. 350z owns in braking, cornering, slalom, did I say braking and any other category you choose. It is 4-500+lbs lighter (which is like carrying 3 1/2 average adults with you in the car). You have to go back to the 2000 cobra r, to find times resembling those of a stock 350z. O, I forgot to mention, the Cobra R has no a/c, no sound deadening material, no power windows and no backseats. So in essence, this is a race car!
Say what you want, but a twin turbo 3.5 liter V6 at 8psi> 4.6 liter supercharged V8.

youre not making any sense...so youre comparing a car that has had thousands of dollars of work done to it...to a damn near stock Cobra.....thats like saying an orange is very similar to monkey.....theyre not even comparible...and its not even ballpark...i enjoy the 350'zs but stock they shouldnt mentioned in the same sentence as the Terminators or LSx's...i give the nod to domestics in this case....
p.s. only gays do road courses...real men live a 1/4 mile at a time...the 1/4(time/mph), 0-60, 60' and 1/8...are the only categories that anyone cares about

The first turbokit for my car, cost me 7000 installed. I was still on the stock exhaust and stock ecu. This yielded me, 416rwhp and 454ftlb(8psi) and trap at 119mph. The twin turbo kit, cost me the same as what Ford charges for the blower they installed in the 03 cobras. So once again, the 350z>cobra.
Add up a built Cobra and a built 350z and see which one cost more. Find me a twin turbo cobra, that is fully built and see how much it cost him. I gaurantee you, its more than what I paid.
There's no skill in going straight for 10sec. So if you call that manly, go ahead. I'll take my risk on an autocross anyday over 1/4.

I was kinda on the fence about my opinoin on 25psi but this just told me that you are a total ricer. you are camparing a stroked high boost turbo motor with built internals to a stock displacement stock interal motor. not to mention it is one of the smallest v8s out there. you are pathetic. a 350 Z does not even hold a candle to a 03/04 cobra. and the times you posted for the cobras are way slow and the times you and your buddy posted for the 350 Z are too fast. A cobra is a 12.7 sec car and a 350 Z is a 14.3 sec car plain and simple. I dont car about the fastest ever stock run I am talking about average so please pull your head out your ***.

Uhh, buddy, im going to twin turbo my cobra and its going to cost me less then 7000 for the kit installed if not that amount. ive already priced it out and picked my kit. ill be making close to 850RWHP...on stock engine. and yes, my engine can handle that beacuse it IS built from the factory to a good extent. your stupid *** seems to forget, a 2003 cobra engine has been taken to the nines untouched internally, and does it realiably.
Whats the fastest 350 turbo run? does it **** with the 8second run of a not so well known street driven 2003 cobra that has a built to the hills engine? you are aware that a twin turbo cobra, at 8psi, on STOCK engine will **** up ANY 3.5 liter v6 at 9 or 10 psi? cost is cheaper to build a cobra then you think, the 4valve has been around a LOT longer then the 3.5 in your car so im begining to wonder were the **** you get half you theories from.

I actually picked up some speed though as my car ingested their magical exhaust fumes...
