[QUOTE="tt335ci03cobra, post: 15688526, member: 68944"] This week I haven't driven my cobra until today heading to work. Didn't even get on it more than 1/3 throttle and was in love all over again. Didn't have the feeble weakness of my daily driver at low rpm, which is a 277whp/355wtq 2.0 ecotec. Normally, I have to be above 2500rpms to go up a hill on my route to have any power. Today, in the cobra from just 2000rpm, it happily pulled right up to 3000rpm like it was a young eager puppy. No issue at all. In my tuned ecotec, it gets pissy and vibrates harshly. I have to use 2nd in the daily, I was in 2nd in the cobra. The ecotec has like a 2.4:1 2nd, the cobra has a 1.78:1 2nd so it wasn't torque multiplication related. 26.4" tire vs 25.5", etc. Just v8 vs i4. Hell I even have very aggressive cams and cavernous heads with 5ft of cold piping to the inlet (lag mill on paper) in the cobra, huge t4 turbos as well (internet racing says it's a super lag machine). Op what does your car trap? 700whp is good for 130-135mph pretty easily. 140mph in a very solid/efficient car. Maybe you got tuned on a very happy dyno? Run it at the track and see what it traps. Other things could play into as well like the car may be pulling timing from heat sink. Intercooler pump could be going out, etc. [/QUOTE]
