Fifth Gear 200mph car
Discussion
How much power, given an average drag factor do you need to break it is the only question mark over the theory below IMHO?
A standard 4.5 Cerbera knocking out say a real 360-380bhp wil do around 180 real mph. These can be had for sub £20K prices and they already have the relative light weight (1100Kgs), whihc can be reduced to sub 1000Kgs easily IMHO and a full roll cage, half way there me thinks .
Improving it's power, well as already said NoS is the cheapest way to go, so long as you have a sound engine to begion with.
'TVR Power', ask for Dom, would I imagine do a complete strip and rebuild for say £8-10K. Then throw a 200 squirt of NoS in , TVR Power can do/have done this too .
There is already a cerb out there which is making not far short of a true 400bhp standard which has a generous shot of NoS, 250 I believe .
If you are serious about the project I beleieve the Cerbera is the way to go, not forgetting even McLaren used the cerbera as the test mule for their SLR developement .
