NO, you're incorrect. At the track I would be accelerating faster to about 50 mph until he stops my pull at 50-60ish. Then 60ish and above he would start to reel me back in crossing the line at the same time, me finishing at 80-81mph him at 83ish. (Technically I would "out 60' him" plus some...till mid to 3/4s of the track).

i dont uderstand why u think u will out accel. me none of the others did and i just dropped the 4.10 gears in so i will be in my powerband even quicker

i understand u have a truck that should get better hook but at the same time you have less cubes and are relying on a supercharger which u have to bring up to boost or it does nothing therefore at low rpms that thing isnt putting out much hp

i tend to think the things have a better chance on the top end where there charger is at full boost and my car is dying for air, thats where they start catching up, but the race is already over

You need to drive a lightning. Its not a turbo... It has NO lag. It has RAW low RPM acceleration!!! I kinda thought the same way you did when I had my LS1. Until I drove a L. Drive an 03 or 04 though.

i have driven my brothers cobra several times and it stills has a second where it lags and then the charger kicks in

**woodymaro** · 12-23-2007, 11:27 AM

But the L has low end torque equivalent to a Freakin diesel truck!!!

**hutch1999** · 12-23-2007, 11:27 AM

superchargers have no lag

**dpinson** · 12-23-2007, 11:28 AM

anyways im done arguing im not a keyboard racer and ill be glad to accomodate you with a place to stay if you would like to come see for yourself

**woodymaro** · 12-23-2007, 11:31 AM

Sounds good to me.....

not really lag but they have points where they are not at full boost
when you floor it you can feel the boost come on separately some times at lower rpms

**TrickStang37** · 12-23-2007, 11:41 AM

the only time i might have any sort of boost lag on mine would be if im chugging at about 1800 rpms in a gear and it takes about 300rpm to be at full boost. maybe your brothers boost gauge is lagging.

thats pretty much it but you can feel it and i know when i car next to you floors it that can feel like an eternity

No.

You cant feel anything.You might feel it downshift.

Hell you woudnt even know there was a supercharger there if you didnt hear it.

not really. im talking 6th gear on going like 50mph.

in regular driving mine will hit 13# INSTANTLY when its floored, and build to 14-15#'s @ 4000rpm or so.

i doubt you want to tell me i'm incorrect. back when i had a completely stock motor with 3.73 gears and 3400 stall.

You are TOTALLY MISSING THE POINT!!!(nice vid btw) 1.) You are running slicks. (read my post where I said "Are you running slicks?") Slicks change the whole equation! 2.) The lightning was ASLEEP at the tree. (I said "IF" the cars leave at the SAME TIME...) 3.) Your car is probably a mid to low 8 sec. car (1/8 mile) His car just has a lid and cat back with STREET TIRES. and its an M6 so it's a lot harder to get off the line compared to my truck. I bet you also had LT's, cat back or dumps and some sort of a tune. (this equation just keeps on changing) 4.) You are probably a really good driver also. So really your video is pointless.

no not pointless just more to the fact that unless u tree me or your truck is just simply faster that A CAR CAN OUT 60' A TRUCK
