Cobra destroys GT3 at stoplight race

Is street racing OK on this site?
:) |
Cool that the Cobra is faster, but boy is that stupid on those crowded roads.
|
Of course not! Street racing is childish, irresponsible and very dangerous......
(that sounds just like my ex wife describing Cobras in general!) So, what does a replacement clutch for a new GT3 cost?....... :cool: D-cel |
As an aside, GT3's have launch control.
If properly used, that GT3 would be sitting at a coffee shop down the road waiting for the cobra to get traction. |
The GT3 is not designed for drag racing. Given equally skilled drivers, the results on a road course would probably be very different. As for dragging Porsches, try a Turbo S with launch control; 0-60 in 2.8 seconds, consistently, and no clutch to wear out.
|
We heard all of the same quoted technical specifications, launch control and wheelspin issues in the Cobra vs. Ferrari 458 match up. On paper the Ferrari won hands down but on race day the Cobra still brutally kicked its tail 3 races out of 3.
|
Those horrific launch controls have fewer lives than a cat. That's for sure.
|
Maybe the Cobra was "real" and the P car was a replica... Can't wait to see how many pages this turns into��
|
I don't know about you all, but it didn't look like either car was trying hard at all....
|
I have a couple questions.
Is that NYG in his Nissan Leaf videotaping the race and, if so, did his friend in the Porsche have additional ballast in the car, since NYG buys his kitty litter from Petco in bulk and his friend in the P-car appears to have helped him get it home? :LOL: |
Full disclosure: I'm not a Porsche guy (though I did own a modded 930 turbo back in my "youth"), but it is an inconvenient truth that once your front engined, rear wheel drive car reaches a certain power point, it becomes impossible to apply much more force to the pavement without drag slicks. I realize that there are replica Cobras out there that properly prepared and shod with the right tires run 9s at the strip, but a vast majority of the street driven cars would struggle to break the 11 second mark.
Back to real life in 2016. My current ride is a hot rodded '98 Corvette (sorry!) that makes 903 hp at the wheels, but runs on sporty car Michelin Pilot Sports tires. In spite of my 335 width rears, my friends 2011 Turbo S consistently eats my ass from a dig up to 70-80 mph, at which point I pass him as if he had dropped an anchor. Most street encounters have ended before that speed is reached. |

Repeat after me Drag Radial Drag Radial Drag Radial...... |
But the Ferrari California that made the left turn wanted nothing to do with them.....

I enjoyed this red light/green light incident more.
Two guys beating each other while the light is red. When the light turns green, they both go back to their cars. :LOL: http://www.cnn.com/videos/us/2016/01...viral-pkg.keye |
Just another bunch of jackasses headed north on RT202 towards RT100 south of Downingtown, PA.
