There are quite a few 03-04 Cobras still with IRS going sub 9s..... also vettes as well... I hate when people use IRS as an excuse.Quote:

A race ready Cobra with a higher output supercharger with nitrous will make around 800hp/900tq
The reason why the hp on the Viper is so much higher than the tq numbers is because of the "stroke" of the engine. (to put it simple) You will probably see anywhere from 200-250hp difference between torque and horsepower with a 1600hp Viper.
I know what I'm talking about... and if you remember correctly, I advised you to get your junk tuned... and what did you do? Blew your motor? yep do you know who I am yet?

hummm MPH... so I guess two guys in this post will be do-dadding on your car! :yes:Quote:

how is that foot in mouth. Your acting like I know who you are and I dont. I'm sorry mister photographic memory man. I'm not like that. do you work at MPH or something? if so...you'll see what I am about to bring you guys. trying to keep it on the low low but i kinda have a big mouth..so we'll see. it'll be up there prob after Nopi.Quote:

As far as mustangs and imports, personally I have respect for any car that performs. Its usually the driver that ruins that for me, which has nothing to do with the car he drives. Theres douches in all cars, just seems like civics and mustangs the most because there are lots of them.:goodjob:
hmm... I thought hp (as far as ICE's are concerned) was a derivative of torque and speed?Quote:

which is why a faster spinning motor can make the same hp as a higher torque, slower spinning motor.
which is why I always laugh at newb supra owners that think they can just slap a big turbo on thier 2jz and make it fast. Hmm, lag till 4500 rpm, then redline at 6200:lmfao: :lmfao: :lmfao: I have a 6 liter that revs higher than that in stock trim:lmfao: :lmfao:
I love power under the curve:goodjob:
You're absolutly right. I could get more indepth, but I don't see the point on these forums. And 5252 is RPM. It's just what the measurment is taking from. You also have to factor in net weight, rotating mass (centripical force), and also a dyno correction factor (humidity, pressure and temp. after the dyno measurement). it all boils down to one main thing, friction... less friction more power. That's why top fuel dragsters have higher cubic inches rather than a smaller cubed motor that revs twice as high, the smaller engine to make the power of the larger engine will have to work harder because it will produce more friction to make the same power. This making the smaller cubed engine less efficent than the larger. That's why the saying will stick to the end... "There is no replacment, for displacement".Quote:
