Proto 996TT vs three 10-second Cobras
 

Had some fun in Mexico last night against three seperate, heavily modded Cobras, one right after the other. We were all running 93 octane fuel.

One of the Cobras is running a Kenne Belle, the other a Whipple, and the last one was running something different. I can't remember the name of it. But here's a couple of pics of his setup for those that follow Cobras:

Anyway, 2 of the Cobras have already run 10.7-10.8 @ 132+. The one in the pics hasn't hit the track with his new setup yet, but should hit 10's easily as well.

Short story shorter; I pulled each of them numerous times from a roll without drama. One right after the other. We were all making similar HP on 93, but I make more torque, have a higher redline, and weigh less. So the advantage was mine.

No vids to post, but I do have some quotes from each of them about our runs that they posted on a local forum. These are really good guys and I appreciate their compliments. It was fun hanging out with them last night.:D

Scott,

Great runs. Now get that thing to the track so we can see some record setting numbers :) .

I'm shooting for a track rental on the 23rd, John. Unfortunately it's a Ford and Chevy track rental, so I'm not sure if I'll be allowed to attend...but a friend is looking into it for me.

Nice... you will put down some very impressive numbers I'm sure. What are your expectations and "gut" feelings?

My only official prediction is that I'll run better than 10.6 @ 136 (my previous best).;)

Scott, when your on 93, what boost are you running? .9? and bhp is 700 at the crank?

thanks, and fantastic that you had fun...

best,
adam

Scott
Great to hear you are having fun! For those who are looking to have some free dyno and ofcourse several runs in Mexico I welcome all my fellow six speeders to the TEXAS JAM!! It is dyno run off ;then ofcourse, the real action takes place in a place called Mexico. The date of all this action in August 18 and will be in Dallas. You can find more info here http://www.houstonperformancedriving.com/

Adam,

Yes, when I'm running .9 BAR I'm making 710-720 crank HP. My car was actually boosting to 1.0 BAR last night (due to the dry and cool weather we had) so I was actually at 790 crank HP (690 rwhp). The car ran great on 93 octane at that level.

Amazing HP numbers for such low Boost!!

Just think, Rob...Mark makes 75+ more HP than I do at the same boost levels.:)

Serious Cobras!!

Scott,

You (and Todd K.) have come up with THE killer set-up, You will
surprise many disbelievers this summer. Enjoy in safe locations.

MK

very nice, you are the mongoose for sure.....;) ;)

Nice kills,now stop picking on the mustang guys and go hit up those TTVipers and Supras ya bully.

I wish I could find some, Joe. Not many huge HP cars in my immediate area. The Top Dogs are in the 600-800 rwhp range.

There are going to be some TT Vipers and Supras at the Texas Jam.. I think Ben will becoming down with his amazing Supra AKA Jedi ... want a beautiful Supra! I wish Joe, Mark, Todd Z, Craig and ofcourse you (Scott) would come down :-) I am so lonely at these events.. I need some other 6speeders!! Once again congrats.. actually congrats to ALL who are pushing the envelope !
Cheers
Robert
