Guest 73Turbo240z Posted March 22, 2006 Share Posted March 22, 2006 I had been wanting to line up against this car for some time, i love the looks, the 300hp they tout on paper sounded good, i knew i'd win in general given the P/W ratio, but i really didn't expect it to be this easy... both times i felt my launches were horrible, and i still found myself pulling off the line, then sandbagging to keep him within 2-3 car lengths of me... kinda let me down... and i know it wasn't the driver, cause they changed drivers for the second run... and that driver drove a cobra very very well the race prior to that...

thehelix112 Posted March 22, 2006 Share Posted March 22, 2006 Hehe.. good to hear! How much boost are you running again? I just finished on-road tuning mine for 17psi today. Feels fast for about 2 minutes then starts to feel slow again. Gah, damn country roads, you don't really feel like you're going fast til you look down at the computer and see you're doing 5500 in 5th (128mph). I'm off to the land of extremes (murica) on Tuesday and obviously my zed won't quite fit as carry on, so I'm going to a local race track on Friday, drags on Saturday, 9 hour ``cruise'' (evil grin) on Sunday.

EZ-E Posted March 22, 2006 Share Posted March 22, 2006 I was beating those on a stock turbo boosted to 15# in a 280ZX. They aren't much competition. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dr_hunt Posted March 22, 2006 Share Posted March 22, 2006 You guys are giving these ford boys a complex, you should be ashamed of yourselves for whipping up on them like that! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest 73Turbo240z Posted March 22, 2006 Share Posted March 22, 2006 You guys are giving these ford boys a complex, you should be ashamed of yourselves for whipping up on them like that! i think the 03 cobra we raced just after the GT was the one who really got butt hurt about it.

dr_hunt Posted March 22, 2006 Share Posted March 22, 2006 Dang pesky z's, just won't go away. That's really a great kill! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thumper Posted March 22, 2006 Share Posted March 22, 2006 Yeah the 03 cobra had intake, exhaust, h-pipe, 15psi pulley, and some other stuff. But the kid wasn't the best driver although his 2nd was a fairly good one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silent Posted March 22, 2006 Share Posted March 22, 2006 with said mods on the cobra, with a good driver it should pull low 12's high 11's with a decent tune, and some dr's. they are really gonna be butt hurt when i pop my hood and they don't see a turbo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
