seems like auto is the way to go with these hell shats
2.9 whipple cobra vs hellcat challenger

Good race but I was a little surprised the Cobra pulled away as easily as it did once it got rolling thru the gears. This coming from a guy with the same setup in my Cobra. If the HC would have been banging gears the Cobra would have walked away more, no?
HUH? Cobra made 630+ at the wheels? Around the same as a stock hellcat but the dodge weighs a 1000lbs more...
If that cobra did have a 2.9 whipple and only made 630rwhp, (dynojet) than its running really low boost. They usually make 660+ on pump gas with ease if ran at the right boost level. I make 710rwhp on 22lbs of boost with my 2.9. so if this cobra was to run the correct boost for that big of a blower, it would have pulled even harder. IMO a twinscrew needs 19lbs at least. Iv owned lots of twinscrews even the very first 2.4 kb that came out. At low boost they may put up a "cool" peak hp on the dyno but that means nothing. I remember guys running 15lbs of boost on there kb's and whipples, making a decent hp, then a ported eaton cobra running 17lbs making less hp would stay right there with them. Need 19lbs on a twinscrew. Thats my rule of thumb.
I think if it hasn't been said, we need to look at the fact that, while slightly modified, at over 10yrs of age, the terminator is still crushing some serious Competition. It's truly a mark of an Icon to see the Terminator still draggin dat ass!!

Maybe the HC driver had the black key in his pocket and not the red! That would be a B!

op:
dang, impressive sir. Another 70hp with your setup would walk and get ugly real quick for the HC owner. That's if you don't smoke ur tires first!
This... Win or lose that Terminator is not "built" IMO if he is running only a 2.9 with supporting mods... I consider him to be pretty common around this forum. That being said, it really speaks to a 10/11/12 year old car throwing down against the "biggest and baddest" thing around these days. Definitely the mark of an icon and further solidifies the Terminators place as an amazing piece of automotive badassery.
That is why I love my Cobra and plan to be a terminator owner for life. I could afford a 2013 gt500 if i really wanted to but these cars changed everything and I like that my 10 yr old car is still relevant in the present day muscle car world.

Come on Tezz, slightly modified?
Hey hey hey! This is Team CoBro! We make our own rules here buddy! LOL
Its not built but more than slightly modified.....Fair statement??
The car is modified, period. Why downplay it?
I think the auto on the HC is the only thing that kept it that close. I would like to see a 40 roll.
Damn that's impressive, for both cars. Also liked the Challenger, at least it has some real balls now.
