Chris Wilson Posted September 16, 2005 Share Posted September 16, 2005 Treat your Supra to a nice, lightweight N/A engine of 840 BHP, 93 kilos dressed, nearly 18,000 RPM red line. Be the envy of everyone in the pub, frighten old ladies and babies by blipping down the High Street, bring a new meaning to underbonnet "Bling". Be the sworn enemy of the environment, and the friend of BP's Refence Fuels division. Spend days lapping in lots of jewel like valves, and 15K UK pounds on a pair of new exhaust manifolds (SS Autochrome eat your hearts out...) Good spares back up too, from a failrly repuatble company, with a failrly decent competions history. interested? go to: http://www.race-cars.com/engsales/cosworth/1126773358/1126773358ss.htm and no, you can't use it with an E-Manage or SAFC....

Nick Posted September 16, 2005 Share Posted September 16, 2005 If I had the cash I'd buy two of those Cosworth engines, one for the car, and one to replace the TV with. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnA Posted September 16, 2005 Share Posted September 16, 2005 .. one to replace the TV with. If that fails, the washing machine makes an interesting spectacle [/tip] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Wilson Posted September 16, 2005 Author Share Posted September 16, 2005 There's a Stewart F1 car for sale without an engine at the moment, too, so you could build something REALLY quick... But if i had that sort of dough to throw around I might actually buy this: http://www.race-cars.com/carsales/other/1054927276/1054927276ss.htm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnA Posted September 16, 2005 Share Posted September 16, 2005 $230K ouch. A Beast though. How much do these things weigh? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Wilson Posted September 16, 2005 Author Share Posted September 16, 2005 WELL under a ton.... Faster than F1 cars of the same age. Enough downforce to make fast corners totally awesome. And you don't get (very) wet in them, when it's raing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnA Posted September 16, 2005 Share Posted September 16, 2005 weight of a Lotus Elise and 600+ horses. Plus downforce of an elephant, and tyres wide as those. On straights even the fastest turbo bikes would stand a chance to beat it, on bends, well.....you'd need a G-suit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John_M Posted September 16, 2005 Share Posted September 16, 2005 Max revs 17,800 Ouch! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
