HOW MUCH POWER DID THE CRX HAVE?

Its a Motorcycle on 4 wheels, how much power would it need

I would imagine the 500bhp range, but that is a guess.

KORN! Anyhow. Cobra vs GT-R. Hmm, Im thinkin, in a straight line, it would be pretty damn even. But i would take a skyline over a cobra for a bunch of reasons. Lets start with the fact that the skylines light factory boost of .4 bar (wooo, blow me over...) makes upgrades very easy. And we all know that the horse on the skyline isnt 280, its 320 something. A club in the UK tested it, but when your weight is 3350lbs, and you have the great Nissan version of AWD (ATTESA-ETS, and a Pro version on the V-Spec) monitoring EVERY wheels traction 100 times a second, you have a slight advantage. Lets not even get started on reliability and endurance, resting my case with 'ford', the skyline is worth every penny, and the cobra is just another car thrown together with a bunch of parts that already exsisted somewhere in the world, a V8 with a SC. Not impressed. The only mustang Im impressed with is the new Mach 1. Its 305hp, no SC. DOHC 4.6L V8. Now that I like.

Oh and by the way, Im having trouble with my photo, im trying to get this under my name. I already did the upload, but it didnt work. Maybe im missing something.

SkylineUSA · 12-07-2002, 12:36 PM

Just to give you an idea of what the new Cobra (or was it the Mach Iw ill have to look it up) can do, 11s sec 1/4 with very little mods. Straight line Stang

That is NO boost, N/A baby.

C32Bperformance · 12-07-2002, 12:54 PM

Lets get real here, the cobra is SC yes it is(Eaton Gen. IV Roots-type supercharger, 8.0 psi Boost to be exact), and it isnt going to just run 11s with good tires and a short shifter... The Mclaren F1 runs a friggin 11 buddy. Gonna say the cobra keeps up with a Mclaren? when anybody whos anybody knows it will not.

SkylineUSA · 12-07-2002, 02:08 PM

Like I said, 11s were posted by a N/A Cobra, did I stutter. By the way, Mclaren F1 are not built for 1/4s. I thought you might need to know that.

C32Bperformance · 12-07-2002, 02:12 PM

Lol, well, i dont care what the Mclaren is built for, it runs 11s and the cobra does not, im sorry. Cobra is SC, Mach 1 is NA. The Cobra will run about a 12'9 to a 13'5. Skyline GT-R is gonna run about 13'3 to 13'8. Its pretty close. But on a slalom, the GT-R is gonna be faster.

SkylineUSA · 12-07-2002, 02:21 PM

So all Cobras are supercharged? Hmm?

C32Bperformance · 12-07-2002, 02:22 PM

All of the brand new ones, yes, thats what makes them a "cobra".

SkylineUSA · 12-07-2002, 02:23 PM

What mag are you getting your times out of? They are wrong, point blank, wrong!

SkylineUSA · 12-07-2002, 02:24 PM

I am talking about the 99-01 Cobras

C32Bperformance · 12-07-2002, 02:25 PM

lol, i dont get my times out of mags, i do real research. Listen, i dont want to argue with you anymore, those times are very, very accurate my friend, but what is wrong with them anywyas, those are fast times dude.

SkylineUSA · 12-07-2002, 02:31 PM

Dude, the cars are faster than that.

Under-drive pulleys, chip, cold air induction, gears, long tube headers, after cat system, bigger mass air, and an X-pipe, 11s in a NA Cobra. By the way this is FACT, dont tell me I do not know what I am talking about, DUDE.
