Last night I raced a new SVT Cobra-We ran three times on a roll from anywhere from 50mph to 70mph all the way up to 160mph on the last run.
I had the Profec on low boost, and the low boost turned all the way up. When the video was over I checked the memory on the boost gauge and we made 17psi.
Enjoy. I know I did.
Props to LuckyBMW for the camerawork and editing.
Single Turbo Supra vs Late Model SVT Cobra

Damn! So you sold the bimmer and got a 561HP Supra? I love those cars. Nice kill!

Just curious, but who claims the SVT to be the fastest production car made in the US? I would think that the Z06 would still own that title, since I HAVE seen people running low 12's stock?

Have you been Screwed?
I think that was someone in the FI board. I think it would be a good race between the Z06 and Cobra although the Z06 has more power.
-Joe
wouldn't that make the Viper one of the fastest/quickest production cars to date? For that matter, the Mclaren F1 was a production car so to speak...
Current ride:
'06X54.8is, TiSi/Blk
'03M5 (10kmi garage queen!), CB/Caramel
Previous rides:
2001 540ia sport, Dinan StII suspension
2000 328ia sport
1996 Dinan 3
Because the Cobra is extremely underrated at 390 Horsepower, and usually dyno's with more to the wheels than the Z06. Also it is an easy pulley upgrade to make bigger power. There are also SVT Cobra's hitting 11's in the quarter. No matter, I edited that sentence out since people can't accept a cool video and enjoy it.Originally posted by stimpee

Just a "myth" that was passed around I guess.

Brad man, props for the video! That was amazing! I love seeing cars getting wooped on like that! AMAZING!
my bad brad, that was my "myth". i keep forgetting vipers are production cars : as for the z06 and cobra debate.... basically it is gonna come down to the better driver of the two.Originally posted by Brad D.

Awesome Brad! Sorry to hear about what happened to your car, glad your ok though. Not glad to hear your M3 was totaled like that, but I am glad you got outta that MechTech turbo ordeal.... Supra's rock! If something happened to my car I'd probably be torn between a Supra or an 03 Cobra...

Yeah I wanna see th SVT and Z06 go at it, should be one hell of a race!
Doesn't really matter if was a Viper ACR on NOS...still would have been the same results.Originally posted by luckybmw

I think that classifies as a KILL!!!:
EURO FOREVER.......RICE SUCKS!!
12 car lengths @ 160 = UBER KILLOriginally posted by suspenceman

i know the video could have been better, but shit.... i can barely keep my head straight in that thing under full acceleration let alone a video camera
the night before when i was in the car with brad he was spinning the tires through 100mph. i wouldn't have believed that it was possible unless i was in the car.
brad- just out of curiousity... what gear did you end up in at 160? did you even hit 6th?
We were in 5th at the end of that run.Originally posted by luckybmw

How do you know if its a 2002 or 2003 Cobra? I couldnt tell from the video.
i thought it was a 02 cobra, but with some clarification it turns out there is no 02 cobra. it goes from 01 to 03. the 03 being the one around 390 (under rated) at the crank. people are saying the 01's had about 30 less hp.Originally posted by Jon Caldito

I want to see a video of the speedo and tach as you go through the gears. I'm still laughing at your acceleration after you pass the emergency vehicles. Damn.

wow, that's awesome
From the numbers I've seen, an '03 Cobra should be able to pull away from a Z06... which is shocking to say the least. Rumor is you put slicks on an '03 Cobra and you have an 11 second car. I've never seen a Z06 run below 12 just from tires. Absolutely NO disrespect to the Z06. I do hate the Viper though .
Nice kill, Brad. I have seen both a new Cobra and a Z06 with nothing but slicks run 11's. Props to both cars. Major props to Brad's car, though!
And for the record, there was no 02 Cobra. The 03 Cobra will be easy to differentiate from the 01's and 99's by the front fascia, hood, wheels, rear wing, etc...

It took me about an hour to d/l the vid last night, so when it finished I was asleep. I just watched it and I have a quick question... how do we know it is an '03 Cobra? The video is so blurry it might be a '99 V6 for all I can tell. Since they called it a brand new '02 Cobra... which doesn't exist... I dunno if they were racing what they thought they were. If I'm being a shmoe, sorry .
Cobra Jet, can you verify for the crowd?
