Cobra vs Supra

[eps]

Cobra:

Long tubes
Catless X pipe
Some CAI
GT40 heads (stock, right?)
Some other shit
Ran a 13.7 @ ???mph before LT and X-pipe

Me:
3” catback and gutted 2.25” cat

My buddy sold his 92 GT for a 94 (or 95, which ever was the last year for the 5.0) Cobra. He is always laughing and saying that I’ll never beat him, even when I get some mods done. I try to tell him, but he wont have it.

So anyways we are going to a friend’s house and get on the freeway. We are just crusin at 60mph with light traffic in front of us. As soon as we get a break he pulls up next to me and I can see his passenger smiling at me, so I drop it into 3rd and wait. He doesn’t make a move so I give it just a weeee bit of gas and I hear him downshift. Right then I floor it and the race begins.

A second later my boost gauge shows 8psi steady and surprisingly…neither of us is pulling. 90mph comes along and I slam into 4th (still no working tach) and he gains a car on me because of his longer gearing. I take it up to 110 and shut it down because of some cars ahead, with him about a car and a half in front.

I was surprised at how well I did. It was about 40deg that night and my car was running really good.

nice death mod and try again.....oh by the way did you go to CMI last weekend.....

[RaidenKing]

boost up
race again
you win

8 psi =
15 psi =

[eps]

Nah man, I couldn't make it to CMI. I heard it was hella crowded, like 400 people.

I have a boost controller, but it is only hooked up to read boost right now. I could hook it up but its a pain.

good run though 5Ls still move once they have some work they move fast.

So far hes right now go prove him wrong

[TatII]

what kind of boost controller is it? most of them is not that hard to hook up, esp if its already hookedup to a igntion source and can read boost already.

nice race, always a fan of the mk3, how did you get yours? they're hard to spot around where im from

you should post more often, so i dont feel so lonely cuz dont see a lot of toyota guys in here...

[eps]

My car was originally an N/A with the “Sport” package, so Toyota gave it the 4.3 LSD to try and make it not as slow. I’m not sure what kind of gearing stock Cobras have, but I know it’s much longer than that. Keep in mind this is a 91 Supra, not a MkIV.

I have a Profec B-Spec 2 hooked up, I just need to connect the vacuum lines. There is so much stuff in the way that you almost have to have ninja hands to get to the actuator.

Not sure what the gears were stock in the 94/95 cobra but my friend has a 94 Cobra with 3.73's and it still hit 150 no problem. I am assuming that the gears were even taller stock.

mortal kombat 3 I love that game........

Good kill. I've been looking for an mk3 supra. Do you have the 1jz-gte or the 7m-gte.

[eps]

Haha, fucking 7m, it's a peice of shit. I hate it, but then I also love it.

[2000LS1Z28]

Nice run. From his times that you stated up top, he must be a good driver, cause that generation of mustang was rather heavy.

[clawhammer]

You have to stop being lazy and properly install your boost controller and tach.
