This guy he has his import performance shop, gave me a ride in his 96 i think Supra TT pulling about 450rwhp wow that car was going fast. But still all u heard in those cars is s/c and turbo, i hate that. I only like N/A. Natural aspirated car can do 16 and i love it more the 10's turbo or s/c. I mean those r great cars, really nice, but 911 turbo is one of the expensivest and nicest cars on the street, it is still a turbo car which cant give the power without a power adder.

03/04 cobra i love it, matter fact probably my favorite car right now (till the 06 Cobra) but its true they think they are the fastest **** they only put $2000 into it and go race a supra that has 650-950 hp and give us a bad name. Supra are fast no lie, but they are not invincible yet some people may make it seem that way. For 1 i bet you the videos they have of supras losing 80% of them arent online cause hate to admit loss. I hate to brake to you imoprt fans but they do lose. But 75% of them have atleast $15,000 under the hood. If you wanna race a big dawg make sure you have atleast 650hp 650tq dont embaress the mustang community... people dont see us as bad as we used to be, now most of the young ppl and some older have tattooded in their head the Supras and Sklyines are the fastest **** but sorry, no. If you wanna be a big dawg and race 900hp cars make sure ur in that range and know how to drive because i know more than likely that a 900hp Stang can take out a 900hp Supra or Skyline remember tq and also another reason some high hp domestics lose is because of your GEARING, dont not i reapeat DO NOT race a supra if you have 4.10 gearing or even 3.90, take it from a stop most likely you'll win. thats for 1/4, supra are mostly top end there are exceptions, race according to your car not to the other guys car wanna race high hp supra have 3.55 or lower atleast 700hp if you wanna take on the highway ur better off
high gearing tkae it from a stop or a 10-20mph roll, if they dont want to to bad, now, 3.55 or lower now you can take it on the highway 03/04 cobras change ur puleys make sure your boosting 17 or 20 psi change tires, exhaust, intake, TB, and diablo chip;) make sure to tune it or......(570-600 hp)
put a t88 turbo change the rearend 9" ford and get a new tranny boost 22 psi few other bolt-ons(800-1000hp) say bye bye supra and skyline.......(just a suggestion)

just curious if I'm the only one that noticed that the cobra in that mag article is wearing dot rated et slicks? u know what that means ... they ARE street tires. uh oh... there goes your whole "it wont run that fast on the street" argument.

Honestly SI, I am dissapointed, if you can't see how sombody saying it takes 650 hp to run 11's in 03 cobra is utter B.S. than I don't see how posting any information will make you change your mind. It's common sense,a stock 03 cobra=high 12's, slicks will get you down to low 12's and a pully will put you in 11's maybe not 11.60's but 11's. And yes on some cars slicks can drop upwards of one second, they did on Nova, it depends on how much torque the car is making.

I never saw this. oh well. The guy I bet I was talking about helped his friend successfully run his Cobra into the 11s... and it took more than 650 hp and slicks to do it. But you know when someone with first hand experience tells me that, I should just cast it off as a lie, right?
