another reason its not street legal if it takes him that long to take off from a green light cause of that stall convertor he has built in man it'd be hell for him in stop and go traffic

Earlier you said no, he only puts it on when he's at the track. Now your saying yes he does. Either way, I dont see him driving it DAILY unless he lives 2 minutes from the shop and refills on race gas everyday.

Here's a video of it with the chute off, on the highway.

Supra's make big power, but their turbos come on late. Ill bet that time is decieving.

so what's your point?
given the same power level, a 6cylinder will NOT outlast an 8cyl just as a 4cyl will not outlast a 6cyl. its just that simple.
:nonono: How long has the supra been out? And how long have 03cobra's been around? How many shops have taken an 03 and raced it compared to supra's. . . .not many. Nitrous pete had his 03cobra for a VERY short time. . .and almost trapped 140 for the short time he had it (139.4) with our weak IRS and a FULL INTERIOR. . .ALL four stock seats. . .etc. And this is on a completely STOCK motor.There are no street driven 03' cobras that will pull 145-150mph traps.....
who cares about the trap speed??? dont mean sh*t.. i seen a diesel truck video of it running 11.1X at 110 mph when it should be around 125-130...all im saying is that speed doesnt matter.Originally posted by jasil
I hate threads like this!! There are many faster V-8's than the fastest or either of those supras!
How many real street cars put down 700-1000rwhp? Supras can do that and regularly do. Yes, they use race gas, but so what you just go fill up and then turn the boost up big deal.
There are no street driven 03' cobras that will pull 145-150mph traps.........PERIOD. Go to TO4R.com , supraforums, Sound Performance and there are over 50 supras that will trap 140mph++.
Any Joe blow can go do it. Until the twin turbo kits start showing up we won't see that kind of power in a 03'.
KB cobras might trap 130-132 putting down 600rwhp++. Jay from strictly trapped 140mph with a KB and 125 shot+...is fast as hell, but there are still faster air conditioned street supras out there...and Jay has to run race gas too.
Bring out the TT kits!!!

Besides Npete, all we have is strictly performance. The yellow car trapped 140mph on the stock motor if I remember correctly. And their blue car trapped 141 with the 6speed and IRS and FULL interior and a STOCK motor. Strictly put cams and pistons in their yellow car and they were going to do some weight reduction and definitely be in the 8's, but the car is up for sale.
So out of the three 03cobra's that shops have used, all of them have gotten to 139-145mph. And this is all with twin screw superchargers. Very inefficient compared to centrifugal blowers or Turbo's. If we had a shop that started using turbo's on the 03cobra they could go low 9's. Swap out the pistons, run some more boost and I think 8's are definitely possible. But with much less motor work done and much less weight reduction then the Titan supra.
