Thacker vs 636 RWHP Cobra - Gasp... from a roll! HD Video

[SmackedInATL]

^^^^^^^^Lankhoss just proved my point about the cobra!^^^^^^^^

That Cobra isn't making 640whp. If you ran your 11.40 on motor, then your making appx. 425-450whp then you add your 150-200hp nitrous then that should put roughly in the same ball park as the cobra. You left that cobra way to quick for the cobra to be making 640whp!!!!

Wrong, the Cobra was making at least 600 to keep up with Lank like that. Only Cobra I've seen pull on Lank was a SN95 KB Cobra that was 3000lbs with 580HP. He might not have been making 636 that night, but it was over 600.

i was saying it unfair if the cars ran heads up. but since the drivers agreed, all i can say is he did it to himself. and its true everything that comes out of your mouth is shit, but what can i except from a nut hugger.

I'm sorry you feel that way, but don't make stupid posts without thinking about it first.

Even then, that Cobra only pulled me because he left like Thacker did in this video....just goes to show how much traction matters in any race. When I raced Brandon, he just floored it and took off. I, on the other hand, spun spun spun while feathering the throttle, and even spun a little once I shifted to 3rd at almost 90mph. I also went from like 35mph which is at like 2500RPM's for me. Had he and I done a 50mph punch on a warm day (it was in the 30's that night) it would have been pretty damn close.

Deon beat him by a full car length racing UPHILL (where his lighter car would have more advantage) at 14 or 15 PSI. While I haven't raced Deon without a passenger, with Rick in the car and a full tank of gas I am dead even with Deon....which means I should pull about 1.5 or more cars "unloaded."

The Cobra in this video changed his pulley and made 599rwhp on the dyno, Btstone said he saw it dyno'd. He also said the rev limiter was set at 6200RPM's, whereas most Cobras' are set at 6500RPM's. Keep in mind this is a centrifugal supercharger as well, and not a twin screw like the KB. You can't just look at HP vs. HP and determine what each car "should" do.

Yep, thats right, but thats what Hunter thinks. When you have 1,000 horsepower that may be the case.

Keep thinking what you know Smacked! You are still the littlest fish in the biggest pond!!

I don't think it would be very close if he's actually making 580 RWHP in that 3,000 lb car vs. the Z06. I think he said it weighed around 3,000 - maybe it's 3,300. He may not actually make that kind of power on the street though, who knows, he seems to have some problems with it. Taking 300 or 600 lbs off of the 600 RWHP KB Cobra's you're even with would put them out ahead a few.

That night he ran Deon he obviously wasn't making very good power, and the fact that they were both racing uphill doesn't give one or the other an advantage since the force of gravity is still affecting both of them equally.

Street dyno mathematics.
