04 whipple cobra vs. single turbo rx-7 *vid..

this has been a back and forth race that has not happend yet. we will try and get it in before the end of the year as it is getting cold quick. but here is some info. cobra guy who is a friend is always coming up with excuses to not run. so a buddy of mine made one of those cartoon videos of us talking it out. its funny **** because 95% of it is true. check out the vid.

as for the cars running the 04 cobra is a fully built 3.4 whipple which makes over 700whp he has run 9.90 at 140mph at the strip. so he has talked how he is the fastest from a stop and a roll wherever he will smoke anything. but he only comes out to race cars he know he will smoke. i have tried to run him with my old 35r setup many of times but nothing. i have since gone with a slightly bigger turbo, so now i am just waiting to catch him with his slicks on to race.

we both did vbox times of 6.7 seconds from 60-130mph. this was on my 35r setup. said race we are going to have is 60-140mph where my car is gaining. it would be longer but thats his top speed. either way going to be a close race and will be on vid. till then check this out for laughs and kicks.

I just upgraded my turbo to a 548mm T99 housing. The turbo will now flow 98000cfm and is capable of 8142rwhp through my little 1.3L rotary motor. I was laughing so hard.
