All you people ranting about the "stock" motor in the car need to just silence yourselves for a moment and notice the lack of engine noise emanating from the Cobra as it passes down the track. That's usually a pretty good hint, something magical is at work in the exhaust making extra power and a less obvious noise. If you don't understand this comment, then congratulations you don't know shit.
It has twin turbos. I took it back to the track for one pass this year and I went 10.075 in the 1/4. This was despite spinning on the back half of the track on some spilled fluid which hurt my mph. Look up "twin turbo cobra at the drag strip" on this site.
@twinturbo331 what turbo's,engine spec's,transmission,easy 9 second car,fit a proper roll cage,your going way to fast to survive a roll over with that roll bar.I plan on a 1933 build,first thought was ,roll bar,fire,electrical shut off.
thats what they should run,most aren't set up right or are poorly tuned,lets face it with 2200 plus pounds,450 hp should put you in the tens.Nice job.
Wallicimo1, no before and after dyno runs. The engine was built for boost and tuned with the turbos at Fast Specialties in Vancouver, WA.. At 15 lbs boost, pump gas, it makes 740 rear wheel torque.
It's a Factory Five Racing "roadster". The tranny is a Lentech AOD with full manual shifting (my 5 spd broke last year). It's like driving a street legal go cart that corners as well as go straight.
Calcun, I drive the car on the street pretty much any time the weather permits. A few weekends ago I put 400 miles on it out enjoying some country roads. It is very driveable with a 650 rpm idle and 20 mpg cruising down the highway. The suspension is set up for handling, not drag racing. I drove it out to the strip just to get an idea of what it would do. Just a fun street car that lets you feel the wind and sun on your face. Thanks for the comments.
First of all I LOVE the colors! Second, I was wondering what the turbos did for the HP and torque output? Have you had it Dyno'ed before and after the turbos were put on?
shez got tt's;)

scum525 2 years ago
It's an auto tranny, specifically a Lentech AOD. I think the hp setting at that time was about 575 at the wheels. Cheers.

it's quicker than a Veyron (oh no! the Euro's will start criticizing this statement) in the quarter--probably $1.45M cheaper, too! LOL

That car is awesome. I like the fact that you don't have it all race, i.e. drag slicks/skinnies. Do you take it on the street? How drivable is it?
