You guys are funny...just b/c the car made a ton of power on the dyno doesnt necessarily mean it was turned all the way up at the track...from what I see, Manny can hold his own driving and like 04sleeper said, he wasnt running a two step, which means he was barely building boost at the line, which any turbo owner knows is essential to get the most out of their setup...

Agreed, my buddy has a turboed cobra making around 715 at the wheels and without the 2-step it wont leave the line for sh*t. It's hell from a roll though. Like I said I couldn't see the vids, so I wasn't trying to judge. The turbo cobras are sick though, I need one.

Those Vette's look badass and in this case sounded a whole lot better than the Cobra. I have owened some mustangs and they never sounded like that, I thought is was a 6 banger.

Car moves out, impressive for building boost at the line. You guy's need to quite talking shit and go watch his 1/8th times.. 6.3 @ 115.. yea he sucks at driving. Go drive your 300 hp cars and dream about being fast.

It's because he has a cutout right behind the turbos.
"if that car has 1000hp it has the worst driver ever and has cylinders out......our cars run in the tens with 600 or so."
or....
"That Cobra did not launch or react like a 1000 hp car."
or even...
"I thought for sure the Cobra was in trouble with 1000+ hp and stock wheels? Why have that much power and try to run with either street tires or drag radials? You need a full slick, larger than what would fit on stock wheels."
I guess what they say is true... Ignorance is bliss! Most of you have never stepped foot in a 600 hp car, much less a 1000 hp car. How can you judge what is fast and what isnt... off of what you have seen on Tsreetfire or Putfile??? Other peoples kids, I swear!
I drove my dads 1800 hp 55 chevy, there is nothing like having your guts sucked back.. I did crappy its a low 7 sec car on spray, The trans brake wasnt working so i footbrake launched i got out of it around the 1/8th mile because the car went sideways when it hit 2nd gear and scared the shit out of me.. I ran a 10:20 haha. I didnt get to spray it, I was not allowed to lol
anyway I hope he was toying with the vette, because the cobra at 1000 hp vs a low 500 hp car that cobra should have ass raped the vette badly and trapped 145+mph
I know in previous passes Manny has been letting off at the top to keep himself from getting booted off the track. Some of you may want to verify that before talking shit.

Since you quoted me...I will respond. I step in and see a 600 rwhp everyday...mine. See the sig. And after driving it at the track with a 10 inch wide drag radial at the track, I think I can quote from experience...I know what fast is. Do you? Just keep your lame ASSumptions to yourself.

At 115+ in the 1/8 he was having a bad day or just toying with that Vette. That car can trap close to 150.
Yeah those videos of him running 114-115mph in the 1/8th say this car will move the fock out. He must not have had it turned up very high, because he wasn't even pulling as hard as he was in those 1/8 mile vids where he was going mid 6's @ 114-115mph.

I couldn't see the 1st vids but I saw the later ones posted up of the 1/8mile passes and that car is bad ass. Especially runnin that with no 2-step. The vette he runs in the last vid is no joke either. It went 6.6 at 110. 2 fast ass cars.

Like I said, Ignorance is bliss. My ASSumptions will stick due to the fact that there is an overwhelming majority of ignorance here that talks out of their ASS. Me... I speak from experience also having owned a 700 rwhp DD that was totalled by an idiot right after it was sold. I dont know you anymore than you know the driver or the car in the video in this thread... so keep your ASSumptions under control also.
