Check this out. It was a Callaway but this guy's decided on his own approach to a twin turbo setup by the looks of things - it's nothing like the Callaway setup now!

What can you do when you feel the need for speed?

This one's even madder. I'd like to be a fly on the wall when these guys are planning out where to put the components. Must come up against problem after problem...

I think it must be a "make your Corvette as hard to service as possible" competition!

1300HP, 0-60 in 1.4s

I feel like the skinny guy at a weightlifters convention



Cripes what did I start with this thread, it's almost as if we've discovered the biggest porkie pie tellers in history.

I believe some of it but 0-60 in 1.4? (from the www.supercars.net/garages/Murtaza/73v2.html site) top speed 275 mph (for fecks sake)

Pretty soon we'll have a reply from someone who overtook an F-16!

Plus what the hell is going on with this plumbing, (www.rpmotorsport.com/twinturbo/twinturbopricing.html )it's almost as if they're purposely coming up with the most convoluted pipe bending imaginable. All of a sudden my car doesn't look complicated.

Back soon folks, I'm just building a twin supercharged, 8 turbo, NOS injected vette with 4 miles of exhaust pipe twisted into a ridiculously inconceivable giant coil spring shape.

Estimated performance: 15,000 HP, 0-60 in 0 seconds, top end Mach 3.

And I thought we were running out of fossil fuels...

Next time I go on holiday I'm gonna see if I can use one of these cars rather than a 'plane!

BTW I didn't mean a "parked" F-16 Geoff!
