......... could this be another "Al Melling" dream??? The phone number is relevant to his area!!
Nah - Melling would want to design an engine himself. This one appears to have a Nelson Racing Engines turbocharged big-block Yank V8. Plenty of YouTube videos of Nelson Racing Engines product... some of the motors have mental outputs and I don't doubt the ability of the engine to provide the requisite power. Getting that power down though - well the Veyron has 4 wheel drive and loads of electronic aids... check out the YouTube video of the Nelson Racing Engines 1000 bhp car, it has a yank 3-speed auto IIRC and drag rear tyres, but still spins the wheels up in 3rd when the turbos come on boost.This thing's going to be undrivable.

Thats a great looking car and the Veyrons a pig. Please people with the cash buy them to make the company a success.If the Veyron is 'just a car', then this is a rollerboot.

also anyone can get 1000+bhp from an engine. Christ if I had the money I could turn the monaro into a 1000bhp bd (Wonder how close HarryOz is with his TT LS7 conversion)
But the difference would be drivability, it seems the veyron can pootle around town then get you to the south of France without much effort. Thats the true benchmark to beat not just the outright power
i think Jeff Schwartz over on the Ultima forum is getting close to 1K out of his TT LS engines (I think they are LS7 based). But the difference would be drivability, it seems the veyron can pootle around town then get you to the south of France without much effort. Thats the true benchmark to beat not just the outright power
