it's about a $40K build if you could even get half the parts he has. He has major connections with PCNA, lucky bd

Its statements like that that make me think the writer is full of st. There is nothing in that engine that couldn't be made by hundreds of engineering companies in his state, never mind the rest of the country.

Custom numberplate and window stickers?

it's still better than the barried-up brand new toyotas, so we'll let it slide

[Otter Smacker]

Not overly keen on the bonnet vent, but then I suppose it needs a fair bit of cooling directed on the 360bhp 1.4 lump - Love the rest of it mind

[Otter Smacker]

Another modified 500 Abarth...


Engine breathed on and moved from the front into that back:



This car is claimed to be able to reach a top speed of 245 km/h and can reach speeds of 100 km/h in 4.7 seconds.

Agreed, its a car engine, not the space shuttle.

car was making an estimated 1150BHP at only 1.35 bar of boost, based on the fuel flow going in.

If they have got a persumably sub 4l "road based" engine to make > 1100bhp on only 1.35bar, they have just invented an engine with the best brake specific air consumption ever made.............. So assuming they haven't managed to re-write the laws of physics, i'm calling custard on this one !!

Did they say it is running petrol or ethanol! Sound very iffy to me!

Re the 500's above, a PH'er (can't remember who) has a thread about his own 500, with suitably silly power levels.

Sorry, only sized pictures I can find of this Lupo

4.2 V8 AWD Lupo...

This car was featured on the front of the Jegs catalog that arrived today. May well have been posted on here before. It is profoundly bad-ass.

WANT!

900hp Beemer...

[Otter Smacker]

A bit different...

1929 Ford Model-A with a 250 HP 2.0-liter, 4-cylinder powertrain from a Ford Escort BDA Cosworth Group 4 Rally Car! The rally-powered Model-A can go from 0 to 62 mph in just 5,0 sec while it achieves a top speed of 124 mph.

[Otter Smacker]

Sleeper this time, even down to the look of the engine...

Twin turbo 63 pontiac tempest with almost 1500 HP:

[Benni]

Regarding the Tempest :
Is this a Nelson Racing Engines car ?
They have built a similar one, but in blue, it resides in Germany now.
