Cobra Guys dissin Supra TT

[Hennessey]

repost.


i saw something about the c6 zo6, I DEFENATLEY dont think that a c6 z06 could beat ANY modified supra. If the modded supra had over 470 rwhp it would beat the z06. But then again if you lingenfelter twin turbo this car expect numbers like this 0-60 1.76 ..... 1/4 mid low 8 seconds. And yes its a street car and still can daily drive.

I lived in Dearborn Michigan for 7 years (SVT territory) and even some of the guys at SVT admitted that the weak link in the Cobra is Getting it to hook up.
(They though it was a big joke when ford would have them build a 700hp monster for the Woodward dream cruise "Hows it drive? Like a old F150 on ice") The second weak link is when the Cobra Driver shifts into second gear. I always pull away from them at that point (My Supra TT is an Automatic) I love to see their hood dip, then they see my taillights.

first off anyone who owns a slowbra is an idiot and shouldnt be considered any type of tuner bc its the worst bang for your buck in its catagory and the GTO has a ton more potential so let the brainless idiots talk all the shit they want btw the 03/04 cobra is faster then MK4's and 3KGT's (bone stock) but what I want to know is what the f*ck ford was doing all 10 years it took for them to finally beat a 1993 6cyl????????????????????????????

See it's that kind of attitude in the first part of your post that gives Supra owners a pigheaded reputation in the domestic community and some parts of the import community...I've been in both..owned a turbo RSX for a number of years and up until recently owned a Lightning...there is a bit of truth to the fact that cobra owners can be cocky, but the same can be said for most drivers of coveted sportscars..Supra included..but for the most part in the years I spent with Lightning/Cobra guys, they're just as much tuners as any import guys I've seen...theyre not idiots for buying a Cobra..in some aspects its better than a Supra, in some its not...and what was Ford doing those 10 years? Marketing to a different crowd..they had the Mustang, which was selling like hotcakes, and still does. The Japanese industry was way ahead of Ford back then though, but shortly after SVT was established, they started building the first Lightnings and Cobras (and Escorts and Contours..belch), which were still very nice and decently fast cars. And even to this day those old 93's have some crazy potential (Go find your local T78 Gen I Lightning and see what that can do) While I'm still biased to like imports, I'm still gonna say you were way outta line with those comments...respect should be given to either side; each has their pros and cons and uninformed and disrespectful comments like that only provoke the other side and make us look bad. That being said,as is the general consensus, the Terminator will definately take out the MKIV and the VR4 in the quarter, but when it comes autox time, the cobra is a fish outta water...but it wasnt built to do that was it? Cobra owners generally buy them not to autox but to take it fast and straight, and it's very good at doing that.

It's just too easy to mod Supras, they are made for it, typical toyota over engineering everything. Intake, exhaust, more boost and he's toast...

Amazing to compare the new corvette to a supra, just plain stupid, even if it did beat the z06 in a 1/4mile try taking it to the track dont say that the supra will go with the z06

Greglatta and Poodles,interesting conversation to get into.I think as well as tons of other people in or out of the industry agree that pound for pound the Vette is the best sport car for the price.A modded Supra could beat a Vette in the 1/4 so what.Ive seen VW bugs beat 911's and a Chevy Chevette beat a Corvette.On the track anything can happen with the right driver and the right settings.Really what Im trying to say is anything can happen on the street or the track.Its not all about horsepower yadda yadda.If you dont have skill all the horsepower in the world wont mean a damn thing.

not hating on domestics but all people do to them really is exhaust, intake, and a supercharger. you see mustangs all around also, why is that? they are cheap, not bad, but cheap. they have potential just like any car, add a little money, boom you got ### horsepower. but personally i think if you go dollar to dollar, pony to pony, imports will get down the street/track first...depending on the driver of course

[jfunez]

as a GM tech and a loyal import owner, i can tell you that the only GM products that I would ever recommend or buy would be any of their cars or trucks with V8, anything with less than 8 cylinders is crap...and I,m not hating...it's the truth...(I hope no GM big wig sees this,....they sign my checks) any ways, reliability is the keyword here....but about the bout between the vr 4 and the cobra.... the vr 4 takes it .......

• now ,with the supra and cobra...well that'l depend solely on the drivers since possibly both of the cars have close HP ratings... go for it anyways and prove to those ho's what rice can do....
