that site is garbage

1850hp RWD road car.....sif

There is a 1970-ish corvette in the U.S. with 2200HP. 3.5 seconds to 100kph? nah.. try 3.5seconds to 350kph. Full registration. No worries. I think Jay Leno owns it or is buying it. Its in the last Street Machine or Unique Cars that i have sitting at work.

Americans.

yeah nik is kick ass. but I can still picture it with http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j1GTf1T4_7Y cranking out my tape deck.

what sort of times does it run on street tires :)

Probably about 2 minutes then pop... pop....

I think 'street' tyres is a loose term over there haha.... Thatd be on some hefty slicks tho i think. I'll scan the article and post it up after work tomorrow.

i didn't post the quoted times because I didn't think they were that impressive given the power output.

anyway the article says 2.5 secs to 100kmh and a 10 sec flat quarter.

does anyone know the quarter mile time for the veyron?

ahh, i was referring to the 2200hp Corvette

ok, this sums up the 80s nicely. oh to have been a coke dealer or stock broker back in the day.

hmmm- Quattrovalvole

what's wrong with being a stock broker or coke dealer in the modern day? :)

Makes for a good pick up line i guess.

What can you LEGALLY do in a ferarri around the CBD of bris or sydney that you cant do in a civic? Pull chicks. THATS what.

Just so you can say youve got one.

I think it looks alright. Specs on that site are a bit funny, how does it make maximum power 1,850hp@6000rpm and max torque of 1,700ft/lbs@7000rpm?

And all this on 92 octane fuel :)

Where does it say RWD though? And if all it can do is a 10 flat 1/4 mile the veyron will have it covered

    • The issue now is the 'fuel cut' while driving, and when it happend, it does not stall. This, I did not test the fuel pressure while driving as I cannot with a fuel pressure gauge. I do have Nistune logs, yes. I have also replaced the MAF Sensor.   Also related to the FPG Fuel Hanger – I just realized that I need a Deutsch Crimp Tool to crimp some cables for the FPG Fuel Hanger. Need to purchase additional cables as the kit only included 2, which are for the float. FPG is has not responded to my emails so far after purchasing. I thought about taking it to someone and having it done professionally, but I am reluctant since everyone I took it to messed up in some way.  
    • There's a good German place in Brisbane if youre up for the drive 😛
    • The German place in Cabramatta was rock solid, fresh pretzel cooked to order back then. Then it went all quiet, after all the poker machines were removed, then I believe it closed for good. I did drive past the other week and noticed outdoor lighting a big screen, but no idea what is there now.  
    • Yeah I suspect even if you hold airmass per cycle/cylinder constant if you get too far away from stock you're still going to have problems running the factory tune within the bounds of the factory load scale. Cams, different displacement/rod ratio, etc. I'm just lucky that the GTIII-SS with wastegate boost + CA compliance cats is pretty much equivalent to stock turbos. When I have actual space I can finally get it tuned and modify the fuel system for flex fuel to 100% handle any detonation concerns when cranking the boost to whatever those dinky turbos can put out.
    • I would say no, why, because my daughter, who also lives in Goulburn, hasn't recommended us going there Pity, as we miss all the German joints around in Sydney, actually, the restaurants are the only thing I really miss about Sydney, and a special mention to Ishibanboshi at Bondi Junction, their Kara-age Don is heart cloggingly deliciousness (always added a special boiled egg...or 2) 😋
