JaSSon Posted April 27, 2005 Report Share Posted April 27, 2005 Someone is lying about their dyno numbers. A 600 whp car doesn't walk away from another 600whp car like that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A 600 whp car doesn't walk away from another 600whp car like that. The guy with the KB Cobra is still running his stock clutch and he shifts like my grandmother. The Evo is making closer to 650whp. He makes slightly over 600 at 30PSI and he was running 33PSI in the vid. and remember that an Evo is about 300lbs lighter than a Cobra.

Try around 3400lbs for the EVO and 3700lbs for the Cobra, if it's a coupe. Originally posted by ScoobySnack: I hear alot of cobra and mustang owners making excuses for a car that isnt even theirs! Those weren't excuses. Those were facts. He's just calling it like it is. And I'm fairly sure he's not trying to detract from that EVO, which is a very fast car.

Kuruma Posted April 28, 2005 Report Share Posted April 28, 2005 EVO = Lighter, *AND* with the advantage of being 4WD. The outcome was determined before they even started. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rally Red Evo Posted April 28, 2005 Report Share Posted April 28, 2005 Evo's not much better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr. Pomade Posted April 28, 2005 Report Share Posted April 28, 2005 No, the EVO's aerodynamics aren't much better than the Cobra's, but they are better. Also, I would disagree with AWD not helping from a roll. My guess is that both of those Cobras, and especially the one spraying, were putting down a boatload of torque. (For sake of reference, on a 50-shot, my Cobra put down 670rwtq.) That much torque, at only a 40 roll, is going to light the tires up, even on drag radials. Not spinning tires > spinning tires, in my opinion. NOTE: This is not an excuse. I don't care who won or who didn't, or why. Just making a point that, even from a roll, the EVO would have the advantage, given the expected tire spin. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope your not referring to this thread. I wasn't making excuses for that guy. I was just pointing out some facts for those wondering why the guy got pulled so hard. Everyone thinks the Evo was running 30PSI and he wasn't. The KB Cobra was running the stock clutch which cannot handle 600RWHP and I don't think anyone can argue how slow the guy shifted. There was almost half a second between shifts. I also tell you that even if he did have a new clutch and shifted much faster he still would have lost. The race would have been closer to what the first Cobra did. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was just trying to get something started. graemlins/popcorn.gif Looks like it worked. For the record... I like cobra's FAR more than I like evos. I wasn't paying alot of attention, but it didn't look like either of those cobra's had alot of problem with traction. The camaro in the other race sure as hell didn't have much trouble with traction.

JaSSon Posted April 28, 2005 Report Share Posted April 28, 2005 How could a coupe SVT possibily weigh 3700 pounds? My convertable weighs in at 3430 pounds with 3/4 tank of gas and a 100% complete interior. I really don't think traction is an issue in these vids. I didn't see either mustang get loose.
