Now we know where the idea came from!

Plagiarism aside, it's a cracking project. Top job.

Gary it does sound bloody nice.

been a long time since i updated this so here goes.
i decided to go for the wide arch rally/track car look so im underway installing this now

im loosing most of the orange now too.
my other issue was rear engine cooling. so iv done this...

How do those radiators fit under that bumper? That's mad. Awesome, but mad.

Top project, lots of updates please.

[Pumajay]

I'm guessing judging from your latest Facebook project there'll be no fat promo girls going anywhere near it

What's the weight distribution like?

[C2V6]

Handles very well
A hell of a lot better than I ever expected

[C2james]

Do you know what the power figure is yet?

Wouldn't both engines need to be the same (as near as makes no difference)? Different power deliveries front and back could be interesting...

The power output doesn't need to be as closely matched as you think.

Think of it as a strong person and a weaker person pushing a car. Both are helping it to go forward.

The gearing needs to be the same but that isn't a problem if you are using the same model of engine and gearbox at each end, connected to the same size wheels and tyres all round.

230-240 bhp each end.

whats the all up weight? looks pretty quick in the videos!

I really like that

So does a twin engined car with 230-240bhp per engine perform about on par with a single engine car of about 470bhp and similar weight? And would fuel usage be similar? I would think two v6s would drink more than 1 bigger engine?

Should be far better, because there will be an awful lot more torque from the 2 engines (but I'm not an expert!). Either way, the C2 V12 will be scary fast!
