James Posted June 15, 2010 Share Posted June 15, 2010 That's unreal, fabbing his own flywheel and manifold etc.! Very impressive! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

supracars Posted June 15, 2010 Share Posted June 15, 2010 he needs to the traction problem out , the back is all over the place Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob_Mitchell Posted June 15, 2010 Share Posted June 15, 2010 he needs to the traction problem out , the back is all over the place so would any backend with that ammount of bhp running, runs perfect.... sideways is the way forward just ask jamiep Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndrewOW Posted June 15, 2010 Share Posted June 15, 2010 That was very impressive, and the sideways stuff is excellent in the right places. But, if I had so many warning lights on my dashboard, I would be slowing down, rather than speeding up, I know that! I think he left his handbrake on too.

kill1308 Posted June 15, 2010 Share Posted June 15, 2010 I think there comes a point when too much power is a bad thing.... I see all these huge power Supras and they all look like an absolute nightmare to drive on the road. I'm all for big numbers, but to me that doesn't look like fun and it would somewhat spoil the driving experience having to be so careful and only being able to put the power on for a few seconds without planting it in the hedge. I'm sure it's amazing once you get into silly speeds and the back end stops waving around like a super slinky, but I just wouldn't want a RWD car with that much power on the road. 600whp in a Supra would be more than enough for me.... maybe I'm just a p*ssy but I just think you could have more fun hooning around in setup that has half the power of that Supra Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt H Posted June 15, 2010 Share Posted June 15, 2010 Maybe it's just me, but that doesn't look like the speed of a car with over 1000hp at the wheels. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dnk Posted June 15, 2010 Share Posted June 15, 2010 I totally understand the buzz you get but unless your racing this up the strip whats the point in having all that power that you can't really use on the highway. Just seems like a waste of money to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob_Mitchell Posted June 15, 2010 Share Posted June 15, 2010 i think its awesome and if you got that sort of money why not?? i know i would build the same. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matt H Posted June 15, 2010 Share Posted June 15, 2010 maybe he not a good driver enough:d Not saying it isn't, but it just doesn't seem mind blowingly fast, which is what you would expect. Looks like 500hp to my untrained perception. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks like 500hp to my untrained perception. Yeah i know what you mean, ofcourse it look like around 500-550bhp to me on the video clip. I cannot understand why he have so much powerful car that he unable drive faster like jamieP:blink: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Attero Posted June 15, 2010 Share Posted June 15, 2010 Looks awesome. I want a go in it. And any car with that amount of power would be all over the place. Totally norm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamieP Posted June 15, 2010 Share Posted June 15, 2010 dynojet numbers, It would look a lot faster if he had any traction though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ellis Posted June 15, 2010 Share Posted June 15, 2010 it look like around 500-550bhp to me on the video clip. Looked like 1146 to me - 10 pence short. Of course, I'm no expert! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sdistc Posted June 15, 2010 Share Posted June 15, 2010 LOL at all the "armchair experts" in this thread saying how much or how little power this car "looks like" making. When was the last 700+ hp car you all drove? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When was the last 700+ hp car you all drove? I think you will find they are comparing the out the windscreen view to other known high HP cars on the forum bud It doesn't look all that quick to me either. Seems an all or nothing car, no doubt a bit of grip would sort it out though. Seems like 1k of rpm on boost though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems an all or nothing car, no doubt a bit of grip would sort it out though. Seems like 1k of rpm on boost though. Looked to me like he started around 60 or 70 mph in 6th most of the pulls, before dropping to 2nd or 3rd and wheelspinning uncontrollably on boost through 2 gears. None of the pulls were through the gears. Why would he be going super fast? No traction means no road speed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamieP Posted June 15, 2010 Share Posted June 15, 2010 I hope we see some videos where he gets some traction, certainly has the power but if he cant get any traction its a pretty poor street car. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
