Cobra didnt have anywhere near enough to hang..........520 whp seems low for a KB 2.6 on 16 psi. My friend just bought a KB 2.6 Cobra that makes 600 whp on pump gas and 18 psi.

Either way, the cobra is basically a behemoth to those two paper weights.

On a sidenote, atoms are so freakin sexy. I want.

Awesome video!

Big shock, people don't like the outcome and want to see the same race with different cars that weren't in the video, haha.

The Atom is for people that have done absolutely everything possible to their car, and still had a shit load of money left over and nothing to spend it on...

I think the point is that the Atom is at it's max, considering they turbo'd it. The S2000 is probably close if it is on stock block (I am sure it has at least a head gasket if not internals), why not tune the Cobra better? they could have got 520 with a Posi port, pulley, and 2 pound lower. That 2.6L should be cable of 600+ on 93. At least make it fair, never mind it was was the heaviest car by 1,000 pounds and had the least horsepower.

At the end of the day, those are the cars they had and they lined them up. Of course it would be cool to see the Cobra set up more aggessively, but it wasn't so what are you gonna do.

Saying, "oh yeah, well go get a TT Cobra and see what happens!" is :rolleyes:

This is the truth! The owner of the Atom has a 7 second @ 180+mph Fox body, 1100whp Supra, M6, Bikes, you name it. He just wanted something ridiculous and completely unnecessary, and now he's got it.

The atom has another 200whp in it the way it sits with the turbo that is on it. Put some good gas and it will get there in a hurry.

The S2000 is a completely stock bottom end, stock head gasket, just has n/a camshafts and valvesprings. It is extremely fast for what it is.

The Cobra has 107,000 miles on the engine, so it is tired to say the least. But it is still a fun car and will be turned up in the future, along with headers and nitrous.

I wasn't bitching about the outcome...
I'm not a terminator nut swinger!
I would just like to see what a TT Cobra would do.
Is it okay to want to see something?:shrug:
I think it would be a more interesting race.
