Linn1647545492 Posted October 15, 2010 Author Report Share Posted October 15, 2010 In the second video Linn posted read the comments. He is making up all kinds of excuses. Dude is a FUCKING idiot. Reading now, LOL. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ImUrOBGYN Posted October 15, 2010 Report Share Posted October 15, 2010 Doesn't make sense. He launches faster than the GTR, but loses it up top. In second vid, you figure after watching the first, the Cobra would surely lose it from a roll, yet he wins. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DKilbourne Posted October 15, 2010 Report Share Posted October 15, 2010 Your car runs well and that has to be one of the worst running cobras i've ever seen. I mean at least Dovers car running a 13.0 still trapped 130 so you know it was making good power. It helps to drive the crap out of them. Most of the "better running one's", i.e. mine and Cory's, are running well due to driving them hard. Cooling them down properly helps a lot as well. Once they hit a certain IAT they just pull timing and they won't perform like the dyno #'s say they should. The IRS in them is a pain in the ass as well. For my purposes with the car, I love the solid axle. If I would try and slip it out like I have been lately when I had the IRS, I would be pushing the car off of the track. Trust me, I had to do that once. Bottom line is that no matter what the car is, if the driver doesn't have the experience or ability to make that power matter, the car won't perform. If that car made 750 wheel it should have pulled that GTR hard. At 750 the car should go in the 140+ range and the GTR was going high 120s. That's a big difference.

04silvrz Posted October 15, 2010 Report Share Posted October 15, 2010 The mustang had a MUCH better take off, yet the Nissan prevails! If the Nissan had a driver mod the cobra would have REALLLLLY got it's ass handed to it. Wonder how much money dude had in the cobra. With a fully built motor etc... it had to be close to what the guy paid for the GTR. the GTR had minor mods. both sweet cars though! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the Nissan had a driver mod the cobra would have REALLLLLY got it's ass handed to it. That GTR cuts 1.64 60' which out launched the Cobra. It is also cutting the best 60' in the country on stock run flats. GTR has a good driver and it's hard to miss a shift with an automatic.

dover Posted October 15, 2010 Report Share Posted October 15, 2010 Probably allot it isn't cheap to mod a cobra, ask me how I know Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I made that pass on bone stock everything but the turbo kit on low boost (13psi) making 600ish/550ish. Also I had a 2.3-2.4 60ft!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kirks5oh Posted October 15, 2010 Report Share Posted October 15, 2010 oh. ok, the slips make more sense. do you know how much $$ dude had in the cobra? depends on how many times he's had to do things, and what he started with (stock new car, or modded car, etc). when i go automatic later this fall, i'll have around $45k in my cobra---that's $31k purchase price brand new in '04, and roughly $14k in mods (big blower, solid rear, automatic, and all the other shit plus tuning, etc.). that's not a ton, but i did all the work myself (except the solid rear/auto). if you look hard, you can find a 700rwhp big blower cobra with a built motor, just like the one on the video, for under $30k, that's been done correctly. that was over a year ago when i used to look a the classifieds on svtperformance--i'm sure the prices have gone down further Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ImUrOBGYN Posted October 15, 2010 Report Share Posted October 15, 2010 What's more amazing is the performance of both cars in 167o heat with 100% humidity. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dover Posted October 15, 2010 Report Share Posted October 15, 2010 when i first took my car out after i bought we had to of made 100 pulls in it with the KB 2.2, if you remember the night we all met at behind DTM (the good ol days) Like I said that dude is a joke.

DKilbourne Posted October 15, 2010 Report Share Posted October 15, 2010 I guess he is claiming the car was heat soaked and his missed a gear. It does pull timing, but even then he is still making 650+. Kid shouldn't have jumped into a high horsepower car and expected everything to go well. I wonder what he drove before this?

Here's the thread as posted by the GTR owner who previously owned a 9 second GT500 http://www.svtperformance.com/forums/road-kill-drive-thru-34/728970-gtr-vs-cobra-round-2-a.html Looks like everyone else is laughing too.

rb26deet32 Posted October 16, 2010 Report Share Posted October 16, 2010 Watch the first video and watch it at 1:30. It looks like the cobra goes into fuck you I'm going home mode. Plus that car isn't running clean at all. All that damn smokes and it was tuned that day in hotter temperatures. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kirks5oh Posted October 16, 2010 Report Share Posted October 16, 2010 that's why i've got a killer chiller on my car. basically a heat exchanger powered by the air conditioning that cools my intercooler fluid. even in the heat of summer, my intercooler fluid is 50-60 degrees. nothing beats rolling to the line at the strip with the air conditioning on max. keeps the inlet air temps around 110-120 at most, and usually under 100 while cruising. anyone who's driven a cobra knows how hard they pull when they're just warming up--this makes the car pull that hard even when you've been driving it for a while.

93fox Posted October 16, 2010 Report Share Posted October 16, 2010 How do you like the Killer Chiller Kirk? Ive been contemplating on putting one on mine for the summers down here. Any downfalls that you dont like? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kirks5oh Posted October 16, 2010 Report Share Posted October 16, 2010 i put it on my car when i lived in tampa, specifically because it was so damn hot there. it works great. only downside is that the a/c was not as cool in the car, but not a huge difference. definitely worth getting---it even runs cooler with the stock heat exchanger than with an aftermarket one. you should be able to leave your a/c on at the track---mine will not leak condensation now, and the a/c pump shuts off at WOT. i permanently leave the a/c on Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
