03' Ford Cobra

What power would be needed if drivers are equal to beat a 600rwhp 03 Cobra?

Thoughts?

03 cobra is a 3800 pound car. Whats the 996 tip the scales at?

I wold say 3350 or so. If thats the case I would think you need the 475-520HP range, you know the cobra will be making way more TQ then you aswell.

Its all about traction too man.

^^^ I doubt the 996TT is that light. My 993TT weighed 3683 with me in it at only 150lbs, so the car was 3530 by itself. I don't think the 996TT is 200lbs lighter than the 993, so I would guess the 996 at around 3500+ depending on your options and accessories.

03' Cobra vs 996TT

My 03' Cobra weighs 3450...my 996TT weighs 3300 with a 1/2 tank of fuel.

600 whp is deep into the 10's with any sort of traction whatsoever....it can be done on street tires.

I'm not sure what it's going to trap at but I'm willing to bet it would take a 996 at least 500+ whp to take it from a roll.
