KB Cobra VS Ford GT (exhaust & tune) -vids-

[Screamin Cobra]

This was on October 28th, we just met up at the g2g and went at it. The Viper behind me is DEADEYE. The GT driver was very cool and admired all of our cobra's. His brother had a nice Saleen, the white one parked next to his GT.

The Ford GT was dyno-tuned and had exhaust.
Enjoy, took me a while to make the movie version of the race.:beer:
Watch them both!!:rockon:

The GT was making about 540rwhp and I am at 606rwhp

nice kill thats my boy, doesnt supprise me at all your car is so sick :rockon: :bowdown:

 

[Deuuuce]

That is just sick.

I would think the GT's weight advantage would show better so I'm guessing you have gears?

Plus with his lighter weight that was no 50hp advantage. That guy's REAL rwhp # is probably close to stock at 500rwhp.

That guy was young, what does he do to have that play toy?

Yeah, thats why he dyno'd 540rwhp. Good call :kaboom:

:bowdown: :bowdown: Damn,nice runs dood...those KB Cobras are just plain SICK!!!!!!

 

[Deuuuce]

So you do have gears?

So he's got exhaust and tune which gave him 50hp at he flywheel (stock they are 550hp), assuming only a 10% loss?

My point is this: Yes you killed him good, but... assuming it's a much lighter car and solo driver and only a 66 rwhp advantage to you, you shouldn't have pulled that hard.

So either:

A. You have different than stock gearing.

and/or

B. He was in 1 gear too high.

What mph has your car gone at the track? You're going to need to have at least a 134-135 mph car to pull him that like.

I just think he's either starting in the wrong gear, or is shifting at 3000rpm. No way a car with 50rwhp more pulls a car like that with 200 lb less.

 

[The Joker]

thats why i love K&B's...they sound so good and they will haul ass!!! behold, instant boost.

 

[Jdaniel]

Good runs. Was your numbers on a Mustang Dyno or a DynoJet? I put down 606 on a Mustang Dyno and 650 on a Dyno Jet.

I can't get it to work for some reason. Other vids work but this one keeps saying ready but not playing. Dunno

 

[Jdaniel]

It just worked for me.

yah man, NO WAY that could happen!!:shrug::cryying: :uh oh:

Exactly, and I have never pulled three car lengths on a C6 ZO6 with full exhaust and a tune. And we raced to well over 160 mph, so you can take bad shifting out of the equation. Some people can't believe what they see, so matter what.

:banana:

 

[HISSMAN]

Awesome vids by the way. :rockon:
