TT Stage 2 M3 vs 03 425whp Cobra

**Jaded M3** · 05-30-2005, 09:53 AM

Well, one of my friends told me about one of his friends with a mod'd 03 Cobra. I believe the Cobra had an Intake, Exhaust, Pulley and a Chip. He said he wanted to see how the TT kit would do againt one. So, I decided to meet up with the Cobra owner and run a few times.

We started at about 60mph, I was in 3rd gear. I honked three times and we were off. The first 2 seconds the cobra hung with me. I had maybe a bumper. Then soon after 4500rpm or so, I was just pulling like mad. I took it up to about 160mph. By the end, I had about 6 cars lengths on the Cobra. We raced 4 times in total, with pretty similar results each run. I think the cobra was also running 100 octane, but I will get confirmation of this later today. I was running about 11/12 psi.

All in all, an awesome night. It really showed me how fast the car has become. I also realized how BADLY I need new tires.

Good times...

yea same here. Also an o3 cobra with those mados should be closer to 460whp. nice kill nontheless.

**dunski** · 05-30-2005, 05:39 PM

160 mph? where did you guys race? on the highway?

**M Roady** · 05-30-2005, 06:18 PM

Nice kill! Some day I'll be there. For now I just make a lot of noise and pick on the little guys.

No. They were on a residential street.

**Flawless** · 05-30-2005, 07:24 PM

Nice kill, the Cobra driver had to be surprised.

**giterdone** · 05-30-2005, 07:50 PM

yeah, good kill. I too thought twin turbo, and was like WTF? then I recognized your sig, and saw Technique Tuning (I made that mistake a few times when reading about your car

)

**KarlSpackler** · 05-30-2005, 08:46 PM

i personally would have expected it to be a lot closer... maybe even him being fast than you....???

with those mods he should have had 450-500 rwhp.... nice kill though

**tEckniks** · 05-30-2005, 08:49 PM

sounds like a fun race.. o yea.. update your sig.. lol

I agree somewhat, but , how much does a Cobra weigh? Also, Jaded is estimating his rwhp...he may have more and weighs quite a bit less; other factors such as gearing, driver etc.

About 3600lbs.

**Serious** · 05-31-2005, 12:47 AM

wow those are pretty heavy.

**slcook54** · 05-31-2005, 01:17 AM

Probably would have been really close if you were still stage I.

Ummm...you JUST now figured it out?

You weren't paying much attention when I fishtailed TWICE in that beast were you???

I toy'd with a 993 Turbo with a bad driver last night. He passed me up as I was entering the freeway. I caught up with him at around 90 and returned the favor with a fly-by...he didn't catch up until I got caught up in traffic (lucky for me).

**ktcg** · 05-31-2005, 10:04 AM

6 carlengths at 160 is pretty close

**comptechgsr** · 05-31-2005, 11:40 AM

cobra is 3700#s or so i believe,
it was my friends cobra convertible, 2003.
He has intake, exhaust, and a slightly smaller pulley (the pulley that you don't need to chip/predator it), and his car is at ~425whp. With the stock pulley he netted a bit less than 415whp. All on 91 Octane.

He was definitely shocked.
I was trailing both Jade and the cobra.
Kills and car lengths confirmed!

**slickav** · 05-31-2005, 02:05 PM

Awesome kill, I would love to see your 1/4 times though

**NickG** · 05-31-2005, 02:17 PM

**FastrTHNu** · 05-31-2005, 02:28 PM

Can't wait to upgrade to stage II. Its goona be GRRRRREAT!

**Jaded M3** · 05-31-2005, 06:59 PM

Thanks for all the comments, guys. Once I get some new tires, I'll definitely go to the track and get some 1/4 mile times.

Ummm...you JUST now figured it out? You weren't paying much attention when I fishtailed TWICE in that beast were you???

hehe.. Dom, I was having too much fun doing my own fishtailing in Yih-Woei's car.

**slcook54** · 05-31-2005, 10:49 PM

Jaded, so was the guy actually on 100 octane?
