Is there a black turbo Cobra in Roanoke?
I would almost swear this bitch was turbo'd... I've heard supercharged setups with diverter/blow off valves, but when I saw this black Cobra take off on Hershberger a little while ago, I heard spool.. It sounded so demonic that I chacked my shoulder to see if Satan himself was sitting behind me whispering in my ear. I heard spool, and then a blow off valve or diverter valve releasing pressure. Again, I know dv's and bov's are not limited to turbocharged setups, but I've never heard a newer generation s/c'd Cobra that didn't whine.
So if anyone knows anything about the car, what are the specs? Sounded great!

I assume. It was that body style. I didn't get a good look at it. I was at an intersecting redlight next to my girlfriend talking to her through the window and all the sudden I heard a loud screeching and spooling noise, followed by a pressure release that sounded like Satan sneezing. 
Don't know much else about this particular car, other than the fact that it seems apparent to have been turbo'd, and that it looked to be the 03/04 body style, but may have been another year. Other than that, the car was a dark color which seemed to be black, and was gone before I had a chance to scope it out from the light.

Re: Is there a black turbo Cobra in Roanoke?
Only black Cobra I've seen here is the one that hangs out at the tattoo shop on Williamson across from Bank of America, it has black wheels with way wrong sized tires on it (stupid lil rubber bands). I've never seen it driving tho.
Easiest way to spot if it's an '03/'04 is if the spoiler is part of the trunk, if it's raised up, then it's a '99/'01.
And yes, turbo'd Cobras rock. Once I finish the new shortblock, I may be swapping the Paxton for a T76

Re: Is there a black turbo Cobra in Roanoke?
maybe the car had an aftermarket cetrifugal blower on it?they can sound kind of similar to a turbo,but usually make a lot of noise at idle,which a turbo wouldn't do.
the Roots blown stock Cobras only make noise when you're on the throttle,and it's nowhere near a turbo sound.

It may have very well been a crazy blower, and I can't argue that since it was so far away and I did not notice it until it was moving. With that said, I think I would have heard it idling too if that was the case. I had my window down, and if it was making that much noise under load, it would have made some noise at an idle too.
