From a dig you'll get destoried!! Unless your on slicks at a dragstrip.If your making 400 to the wheels you should give the cobra a pretty good race from a roll. 400 is alot of power in a car that only weighs 2800 pounds.

Put superglue on your tires before you race.

With your amount of power and with you being on street tires I'd say he has a very good chance from a dig to 90-100 with you starting to pull after you shift into third and finally get traction

So, you are saying, that headers on a 4V is going to give like 4 whp? I seem to think I'm missing something. So, how did Erdal, or Doodad, with a 2.76 pulley, intake, tune and a catback, get 455 and 478, and keep up with a procharged c4 z06 from a roll, with a 600-700 lb difference I might add; then this guy with a pulley, tune HEADERS, cat-back, and an intake, going to get about 440ish? HMMMMM, doesn't add up. Sure, from a roll, you might stay with him, but keep in mind, you have a Turbo, it is not instant boost. Now, a pullied cobra from a roll, is INSTANT boost, he will jump away, and you will be playing catch up, sure you may pass him on the top, but, for that thousand lbs. of weight, he is going to give you one hell of a run for your money. Seriously, roll racing, that is so five minutes ago right?

Sure, with 500 WHP on a 2600 lb car, it may trap 130. Now, port that cobra, get it to about 500 whp and 500 wtq, with a tad bit of weight reduction, there is a trap of about 130 for ya. Seeing as Doodad damn near trapped 123 full weight, non-ported, no upper pulley with his clutch giving him some crap, and also wtih only 3 studs in each rim. What does that say? Just my .02. Some think the Acura will take the Cobra, but, I've seen plenty of pullied Cobra's walk away from light weight cars from a roll.

Red Turbo- this is nothing against you at all, we're cool. I just like to factor in every little detail, and be straight forward.

^^^But we are talking about what is actually done to the car. If the integra can actually use that 400+whp and 350wtq than you better believe it should be more than enough to handle the cobra.

Like I said, with a great driver, a pullied cobra is easily a low 11 second car. Now, I'd like to see a 400 whp run low 11's. They should be able to. Then again, FWD, Torque steer with that much power, not a whole lot of traction, so, I'm sure it will be good. I just hate it when people don't acknowledge the opposing car, hence the pullied cobra.

doodad - only if he gets traction..

You guys seem to be forgetting that if his blower isn't ported.. it doesn't matter what pulley he's running, with his headers he's looking at a max of 460-465 TOPS... and around that torque... Cobras are wierd.. for instance, I pulled 440/480 with just a pulley, intake and exhaust. I know Cobras that with the same mods pull 460/460 type numbers then 425/450 - so it does depend.

But you're all forgetting that if the 'teg is running 430whp/380tq he's (the Cobra)at a definate power advantage.. HOWEVER, the 'teg is also 1000 lbs lighter.... 3660 vs 2640...

My opinion... the Cobra HAS to have a GREAT launch, and it'll still be a drivers race once that turbo spools and goes... I don't think the Cobra has a shot in hell from a roll... the weight + the power band of the turbo = death.


EDIT:

I change my thoughts... if thats teg is as bad as it sounds... it's going to be a mid to low 11 second car; if not faster.. if it's driven to potential (proper suspension to match power level), the Cobra has no shot to win this race.... Dig, or roll.
yeah if the cobra gets traction but you need to consider this, the more power a very light FWD car makes, the hard it will be to catch traction. just because he is making 425fwhp and 360fwtq shouldn't scare anybody. Traction will be tough unless integra is on slicks. You should also relaize this, once cobra is gone off the line, it is gonna take some big ***** to catch it. Cobra will reach and top 4th gear quick, it is not like it is gonna take forever for cobra to reach 120+mph so integra will have ahard timeto catch up.

keep in mind, I raced 2900lbs srt-4 which made 380fwhp and similar tq and srt-4 lost by a few car lengths. Just because cobras are heavy shouldn't make people underestimate them. Off the line all cobra needs a 1.8-9 60' kind of launch and game is over for integra. Integra should gain on cobra but i doubt it will catch it.

I wish i had these kind of challenges when i had my cobra. all i did was race against other mustangs, cobras. LOL[8D]

Go from a dig. Park your car where you're going to start ahead of time and lay down a buttload of VHT, but don't tell anyone.
