I must mention there always seems to be a "260lb camera man" or other oversized passenger thrown into the mix on these street races.
HA! well unfortunately 14 mos ago I tore my acl playing basketball and pack on about 25 pounds so at this time I am 260 but hopefully soon back down to 230. I'm 6'4" in case someone wondered

The TA ran pretty good.
With equal boost the TA would have walked away IMO

There's too many variables to say with x amount of boost then this and that. Compression ratio is something to look at also look at the fact that turbo setups don't draw power like a belt driven supercharger does. A Turbo Cobra setup on 22lbs would make way more than the TS setup would.

What about a "properly setup" KB Cobra? Strictly Performance did ok with
their Cobra and it only had a little 2.2L blower and a little shot of the dope.
This car had the same mods as mine basically, except for the trans. This is
with a 100% stock long block.
That whole debate can go back and forth for quite a while since both cars can be extremely potent.
However, there are zero 6 second turbo fbodies and there are a hell of a lot of 6 second Cobras.
That's where the comparison ends really for the LSx platform...for now.

I know Fereday got the LMR turbo car down around 7.5 @ 189 but no 6 second cars that I can think of.
edit- I've seen that strictly Cobra run and it rolls the fuck out

Out of curiosity, how many of those "6-second Cobra's" run the modular powerplant???
I can't think of a 6-second modular powered Mustang.

Search for John Mihovitz and his 6 second 281cid modular Cougar.
Just because you can't think of something doesn't mean it's non-existent.
The only 6 second LSx car was "Casper"...twins, big engine, nitrous ("just to spool
the turbos" - ok ) in a tube frame GTO chassis owned by Ronnie Duke as I recall.
Badass car though that's for sure. Still, not legal and couldn't compete in a race series.

Also, if there are no 6-second turbo f-bodies, then...what is this?
That link won't open for me. Is it Casper? Read my post above.
I'm not giving out false information. I'm stating fact. I mentioned Casper
above. BTW...that car doesn't exist anymore.
There sure does.
what are their hp/tqs and weights? Just curious
