Re: Raced a 500+hp cobra this weekend.
 

yea thats right.

anyways questions a 297hp civic smoking 10 second cars, wow what a dumbass.

oh wait the civic weighs 1500 pounds right, and oo oo the cobra "couldn't drive" and and and he probably missed a gear, and and he said it dyno'd 557whp

Re: Raced a 500+hp cobra this weekend.
 

537*

Make up more conspiracy theories, liberal loser :3

Re: Raced a 500+hp cobra this weekend.
 

LMAO

---- that got a good laugh out of me.

Re: Raced a 500+hp cobra this weekend.
 

Random, that must have been you then. You know, the guy that was in the 10sec Mustang that Goforth's CRX came flying past ON NATIONAL TV, that Joseph tuned, to make this the fastest import ever to appear on Pinks, and on top of that get called back by the producer of the show to re-appear?

Or were you the guy that was tuning his car on software that Joseph helped design and beta-test?

I'm sure JD can could go at this all day long if he didn't have a enough ---- to take care of. I on the other hand don't, and do not have a life of my own so we can go at it all day long if you wish to do so before the thread gets locked ;)

You sir, are a ------- twatsicle and your mother should have swallowed you. Come back and feel free to post when your intellectual capacity surpasses that of a 6 year old boy with his matchbox cars b/c that's as close as you get to the real thing.

While I'm out and about today hunny, try to make a list of 10 things that you can do to better yourself in life, okay? I on the other hand will see if I can't go grab a ------- dyno sheet today for the Mustang, but as we all know, I will have made it all up and MS paint will then become the new argument.

Re: Raced a 500+hp cobra this weekend.
 

Fixed it for ya, good buddy.


That Mustang is a V6 blower/nitrous car, been together and running 10.4-10.5's for years now. Please don't confuse that Mustang with anything having to do with Johnny; obviously a stock LS1 is faster than any V6, and the Mustang's owner is a laid back dude with no attitude problem which means he's an effeminant liberal loser unlike Johnny.

;D I LIKE CHOCOLATE! ;D

Re: Raced a 500+hp cobra this weekend.
 

298.5 on a dynamics so you can add 13% for dynojet numbers on top of that and thats about....337 if that makes you feel better.

Re: Raced a 500+hp cobra this weekend.
 

Lol @ this. JDouche v ram-my-ass '07, rumble in the hmt jungle

^-^

Re: Raced a 500+hp cobra this weekend.
 

297hp in 1800lb civic = 1hp per 6.06lbs
557hp in 3400lb cobra = 1hp per 6.10lbs

Not too shabby lolz

Re: Raced a 500+hp cobra this weekend.
 

Right, peak HP. When things are that close area under the curve has a huge influence.

Re: Raced a 500+hp cobra this weekend.
 

eh who really cares, its pretty obvious the cobra guy is full of ----.

go to youtube and type svt corba mustang and there are numerous ~500whp cars running 10s.

if the guy says he dyno'd 537hp maybe he means crank, thats not far over stock, since they dyno about 380rwhp ~480hp stock

Re: Raced a 500+hp cobra this weekend.
 

LOL, i'd like to see a gearbox melting its aluminium with 100hp going into it continuously, yeah right.

inflating drivetrain loss ftw.

JD, your lack of response in the water thread has been more than made up for with thismornings readings and laughter. good work, car or no car!

Re: Raced a 500+hp cobra this weekend.
 

da da da da da da dumbasssssssssss

its fairly routine over the years pony cars losing about 100hp through the drivetrain

Re: Raced a 500+hp cobra this weekend.
 

mark levin is a god

Re: Raced a 500+hp cobra this weekend.
 

are they really that ----?

either its wrong, or they suck. or both :-) but not neither!

Re: Raced a 500+hp cobra this weekend.
 

or option 3.

you're a douche bag moron who doesn't have a clue what they're talking about but jumps on a fake bandwagon

option 4

torque owns you, little tiny peices of ---- drivetrains won't handle the torque & weight of the car, and/or won't last long

Re: Raced a 500+hp cobra this weekend.
 

Id assume around 10-15% parasitic drivetrain loss in a fwd... Maybe a BIT more in a rwd...

Re: Raced a 500+hp cobra this weekend.
 

Ummm a BIT? On rwd you have a rear end and on the driveshaft you have u-joints which eat up energy. I'd put a good fwd at 10-15%, a good rwd 15-25%.

Re: Raced a 500+hp cobra this weekend.
 

percentages don' t apply.

it takes a certain amount of torque to spin it all and no more.

20% of 300hp is 60hp

20% of 8000hp is 1600hp

why would it take more power to turn just because the motor makes more power?

Re: Raced a 500+hp cobra this weekend.
 

you are partly right, straight percentages do not apply, but neither do straight frictional losses. it is closer to a fixed percentage of the stock power though. ie, up the power, and the amount lost in the box doesnt increase all that much. closer to that than double power = double loss.

uni joints eat nothing at all when they are in a straight line (well setup car under heavy engine load) and minimal the rest of the time. the big killers for rwd apps are these :

hypoid rear drive instead of helical gear front drive
two pairs of gears for any gear except 4th compared to fwds 1 pair.

i've written a fully comprehensive simulator for this ----, i do know my stuff.

when you put it like that with the torque:power pathetic ratio, you have a point. ie, if you made the same power with less torque, the box could be of lighter duty and survive and thus use less. when i was thinking its your boxs that suck, i was wrong, its like i always knew, the engines suck. bucket loads of box smashing torque and no power to show for it ;-)

Re: Raced a 500+hp cobra this weekend.
 

Ok Ill buy that, but when ujoints are set up.. correctly...They arent in a perfect line anyways (they are off set from the factory to keep the cups from spinning), and... USUALLY there's most always some degree of angle to them... add to that the driveshaft itself that eats tq... I do agree with that its not a straight linear relationship though, when I gave my percentage "educated" estimate, I was attempting to simplify it for (lack) of argumments sake.....
Kind of like an inverse function of the law of diminishing returns.. You know what im saying????

Granted the loss isnt linear, but the more power you make, the more is lost, its not a simple as saying that you lose athe same at 1000 whp as you do at 500 thats retarded.....


I dont know, I do huff alot of race gas....


I could be a bit twisted...


LOL

Re: Raced a 500+hp cobra this weekend.
 

you twisted niggga

Re: Raced a 500+hp cobra this weekend.
 

How about some dyno numbers and time slips? Maybe the guy in the Mustang was a super shitty driver. Then again racing from a roll is gay as hell anyways.

Re: Raced a 500+hp cobra this weekend.
 

met a guy last night, he was holding his steering wheel in his hand, someone else asked him whats up, he says his civic is mad tyight and it'll get stolen.

hes getting removable pedals next.

then he says hes got a 350whp NA h22. i asked him how he got 350whp out of it, he said type r pistons and vtec. i laughed and asked if he wanted to race and he says whatta got a ls1 or something LOL... i laughed and said yes and he wouldn't race :(

even if he just had a h22 in his civic it would've kept up for a bit

:3

Re: Raced a 500+hp cobra this weekend.
 

On what? Id only care about the last 1.5k rpm before redline if I'm going all out. Should I care about more area under the curve around 3k-5k rpm? Especially from a roll you put that ---- at the rpm you want, brake boost a little if you want, and from there its ALL top end ;)
