Wow! I didn't know a GTR was THAT MUCH heavier! I figured maybe 400-500lbs heavier. 1200lbs is alot of weight to manage in and out of the corners... modern tech brakes and suspension or not,that's alot of weight!

No. If both have the same motor set up, the Cobra will get it off the line and hold it's own every time. But at higher speeds, you're right (100mph plus) the Daytona will take over. Don't forget, that's why it was developed by Brock. The Cobras couldn't touch 180 mph in the straights and were getting there asses kicked by the Ferraris.

he got up to 152 mph that's like 260kph on a short strait

@@351clevelandmodifiedmotor4 I once got my 1986 Nissan hardbody to 70 mph in 3rd gear by accident wasn’t until reaching down to turn the radio down because truck sounded a little funny did I see the gearshift was in 3rd not 5th Ahahahaaha!

Not sure where you heard that. There are far more factors that affect oil pressure and RPM is largely not one of them.

@@Matt-mh5ud its common knowledge that you need at least 10 psi for every 1000 rpm for safe engine operation under heavy loads. The pressure may or may not increase with rpm depending on engine design. You can use an oversized oil pump so the psi is a constant value but it wastes a lot of horse power. Quote " In a typical (stock) passenger car engine, the oil pressure is usually between 30 and 40 psi. And that’s sufficient to provide adequate lubrication to the various moving components. But most high performance (or race) engines require 50-60 psi or more for proper lubrication. There’s an old racing rule of thumb that still applies here: Approximately 10 psi of oil pressure is needed for every 1,000 rpm. As a result, a 7,500 rpm engine will mandate approximately 75 psi of oil. " pressure.www.onallcylinders.com/2014/10/23/oil-well-choosing-proper-pressure-volume-oil-pump/

@@Wonderwrench Back in the 70's/80's, we ran high volume oil pumps , instead of high pressure oil pumps.

@@Mike583 yup and most street engines red lined at 6K or less so 50 PSI would get you by in a pinch. High volume oil pumps blew more engines than they saved because all the oil ended up in the top end not the sump.

That's not how a dry sump works. There is a reason why dry sumps are put into race cars and its to keep that oil cool and available to all parts of the engine.

@@christschool - The early dry sump units were more for clearance issues, such as on the 1932 Alfa Romeo. The engine sat so low in the frame that a conventional oil pan would likely be damaged and leak, or be completely torn off. Race cars of that era ran on hard pan surface, no concrete or pavement. At high speed with lots of vertical chassis movement, they were often victims of destroyed oil pans. As you said, the dry sump units also contributed to better cooling of the engine oil.

@@Loulovesspeed Dry sump also eliminates issues with oil starvation from high lateral g-forces. A baffled pan can help but dry sump is king when it comes to road race cars.

@@wrenchrat True, and it also allows lowering the center of gravity, contributing to much better handling, faster cornering, etc.
