BADCOBRA vs. '14 GTR

[badcobra]

Raced a modded up '14 GTR last night. I'll be honest I don't know squat about GTR's and what mods make what power. All I know is this guy has one of those 1500HP UGR Lambos too and doesn't F around. Losing is not in his vocabulary. I'll attach an engine shot shortly, maybe one of the GTR guys can tell what it's potential is.

Anyway, this was my first race with the TH400 and I don't really know the sweet spot yet. I think going a little slower and starting in 1st gear would have been better than 2nd, but it was only mid 50's out so not sure how it would have hooked. I'll figure it out in short time though. Oh, I was on 20 lbs boost also, definitely not full tilt. I reeled him in and we ran out of road right when I was about to go around him. Was fun and I look for a different result next time.

Looks like you ran up on the shoulder next to Jroc at the end there...

damn you were about to pull him HARD. Seems like the results will be much different when you get the tranny all figured out.

Nice run badcobra! Your car is badass! Pulling on him hard!

 

[badcobra]

Thanks all. Here is the pic of said GTR engine. Sure is a pretty frigging sweet car I must say.

Damn, looks as though it would've been a few car lengths if y'all ran it out for a little longer. I say start at a little higher mph, brake boost, and you've got him easily. But who knows he might not be near "full-tilt" either.

 

[badcobra]

Was definitely brake boosting. Just have laggy big turbos. We'll fix that for next year, but I'll be rolling with old skewl 67's for one more season.

Fast cars!!! Was this a three way race?

Good catch, there was a 3rd car. I think it's a 68 Camaro and is a turbo LSx car. Car is immaculate and a top notch BEAUTIFUL build, one of the local shop's cars. His downfall, he was only on 12lbs and regular radials. He's going to have to do something with his tire situation and turn that shit up. I think we left him bus lengths behind, but I'm not 100% sure.

looked to me like he jumped from the get go, I think you would of won based off an equal start. badass ride you have...

 

[badcobra]

Yeah pretty short honks and he definitely controlled the start, but oh well I'm not crying foul or anything. Hopefully we can get another run in soon before he sends his car off for more power because that will likely happen lol.

I was driving next to one the other day, i must say the gtr's are good looking cars.

 

[whitedevil95]

Car sounds bad ass!!!!

 

[badblacklx]

You can make close to 700whp with 14s stock turbos on e85

So my buddy did some internet sleuthing and it looks like it's a Switzer P800 package. Looks just like the pic of the engine I posted above. I guess I'm pretty happy I was able to catch up after getting such a bad start considering the performance capability of the GTR with this package.

Dude that could be any form of intercooler piping. There are GT-Rs that make 900whp with engine bays that look more stock than that. It's not all the bling on top but what's inside that counts.

But looking at the coupler that is a Switzer logo on the coupler. If it is a P800 it's probably making 650-700whp depending on what type of fuel it's using (91 or 93 octane).

 

[badcobra]

It's confirmed, it's a P800. Next time he comes out he'll probably be on race gas so I'll have to dial up the boost.

 

[Mach828]

No doubt you were reeling him in hard

Maybe i'm in the minority as far as this site goes, but i LOVE the GTR. Only reason i say that is it seems to get slammed more often than praised here. Eyeing one as my next ride. With that said, your car is a monster. You were pulling up on him hard no doubt. Nice vid.
