Default 590whp Cobra, 425awhp S4, Jeep Srt, 09 M3

Hey Guys,

I went on a rally that benefited Autism. A bunch of cars showed up and it was a good time. My car makes about 475whp and 365ft/lbs, but on the rally i threw in a 5 gallon can of Q16 and upped the boost and timing a little bit. The car loved the added boost and timing but spool took a bit longer. From the data logs, my car was seeing about 20psi, whereas it usually sees 17-18. A friend of mine has a 590whp Cobra. Its a ported stock blower with pulley, intake, exhaust and 100 octane tune. We did a 45-50mph roll race. I was in third, he was in 2nd. I counted down and we both were off. His car immediately pulls a car as my car takes a while to hit full boost. (i'm guessing its another 500 rpms). It takes all of 3rd gear to stop his pull, and 4th to reel him back to where we started, and then a shift into 5th to go past him. I will need to start brake boosting from now on as the gain the cars get on me initially is pretty big! His car sounded amazing. There's something very special about the Eaton supercharger whine and staccato pops from the exhaust!

I also raced a beautiful blue 2.7TT 425awhp S4. He said it had K04's with stage 3+ tuning and mods. We lined up at around 50mph, he honked (although i couldn't hear the honks over the music), he went, and i caught up. I started off in 3rd and it took all of 3rd to catch him. Then 4th gear i pulled really hard, and his car vanished behind me. He later told me that i was the first person to ever beat him.

The same can be said about the Evo 10 and srt 8 Jeep. The guy in the Evo10 had full bolt ons and the SRT 8 had an exhaust.

Not really a race, but there was a brand new M3 with a sick sounding exhaust. He looks over at me sneering and goes WOT past me. I catch up to him when he slows down due to some traffic in front. The cars in front of us pull over and he goes WOT. I do the same behind him and then was able to go past him in the middle lane while he was still going WOT. It was pretty funny. Hopefully i was able to get it on film.

I have tried to keep it as sleeper as possible. Here are some pics i just took.



I got video of all of this, so I'll post it up when its on the computer.

Wow...must have been fun, that is easily the highest hp I've ever heard of on the stock blower for the terminator. Time for him to get a KB...

Nice runs.

The 2.7TT S4, did it have an interior? I remember a long time ago a gutted S4 came down to race a few Supras and it was unexpectedly quick. He had an off the shelf AWE tuning kit (claimed) and said he was only making 425awhp. but without any interior.
