Cobra and Trans Am

[Mr. Luos]

Just as a comparison....

My car and a friend's 2003 Cobra.









HEHE....

wow!!

look at that black beatiful TRANS AM. T/A looks much much better IMO. can u beat him?

and also, when people ask me which kind of car do l own and l say trans am/ formula and they say wow!!! they are fast.. but some people that l work with, they dont even know cobras. (l swear)

that T-top is worth everythiing

BTW. l wish you would have dual exhaust pipes.. it would look much better.. what do u think Curtis?

Altitude played a big role in the minor racing him and I did.
He was faster here...but was also stock.
At sea level...him and I would be about even. At least at the time the pics were taken.
He was stock, I was headers, cat-back, lid. Would have been close at sea level. But here in Denver...he would have won. At my altitude (above sea level) he has an advantage with boost. Turbo > Supercharger (Cobra) > N/A (mine) here.
And I am STILL N/A.
What happens is since a turbo compresses the air...the thinner air here in Denver doesn't affect that car so much.
Supercharger does the same thing as a turbo. At least when it comes to compressing the air. The supercharger requires RPM's to build that compressed air though, so they aren't quite as efficient here as turbo cars.
N/A....plain out screwed here. You drop AT LEAST 0.5 points in compression because of how thin the air is here. Both S/C and T/C cars have a serious advantage over an N/A car here.

Anyways....him and I would have been a great race. He would have taken me though.

Was that the friendly neighborhood officer I see in that pic Mr Luos?

Some real nice blk beauties there guys!
Doesnt the your TA hav few pounds on the Stang? Not that its that much, but if you were to race it'd matter maybe.

Being above sea level is something I havnt given much thought to before, and you would be right about the turbo/SC's being better at that level.

I guess that why the Pikes Peak races are so hard, above, below, damn! I think I willl stay at see level

[Mr. Luos]

Pretty sure the fully loaded Cobra and the fully loaded T/A are similiar in weight.

That T/A is insanely gorgeous, that is my dream car right there, that is the top of the mountain for me! I'm so jealous! oh ya nice stang.
