Title: Ford Racing finally Turbos COBRA JET Race Car
Post by: Qikbbstang on November 03, 2012, 09:05:53 AM

 Watching DRAG WEEK Turbo's and Drag Racing are naturals.  Oddly the shown CJ is probrobly pretty tame if the lack of turbo-spooling explosions as it stages indicates anything.

Am I too dumb to listen for details... but did they say how fast it went?

Title: Hell no they don't give any times on the Turbo COBRA JET. My bet is they may

be embarrassed. I have a feeling that a wizz-kid geek tuner and a built up Coyote 5.0 could make absolutely frightening power. Somehow Ford Racing bringing a turbo  car to the line and having it stutter with explosions to spool the turbos may be going to far for the corporate folks minds.
          Interesting I have a very proficient tuner shop locally that does the SRT8 HEMI JEEP SUVs that weigh well over 4000lbs running 9s. They utilize a tuner that flies in regularly to tune each car.
