Can anyone here translate Joe's new power numbers into reasonably accurate potential 1/4 mile time/speed?

Holy cow !
Tony, congratulations ! Too bad Joe is not bringing his GT with him, when he comes to our part of Europe next month..... :willy
How long will the car be able to bear this !? Or after two runs, you need to take it apart and rebuilt.. ??

Kind of hard to believe that you guys blow this thing into hyperspace without problems and a company like Volkswagen had such a hard time to reach 1001 DIN hp for the Bugatti...

i think i found new wheels and tires to go with new power (twice as sticky than hoosier power).. that is next along with a bit bigger turbos

i dont think we will have to rebuild the engine at all stefan since this is indeed american IRON.. heheh

Volkswagen i guess didnt have the phone number for tony (hp perf) or dwight( STAGE 6)


just hope tranny holds up.....

Tony and Crew- all I can say is WOW!

Was the last shot a bit of Wild Turkey? After all, it is Thanksgiving.

IMHO, the Veyron exemplifies everything that is wrong about the pursuit of King of the Hill status - it is a bloated jelly bean which looks bad from every angle and costs almost as much as Jerry's garage. Especially that ugly roadster version - ouch, where are my sunglasses!!??

On the other hand, Joe's car illustrates everything good about going for "Top of the Heap" -

(1) Joes' GT is beautiful to look at
(2) the horsepower is generated by good 'ole knowhow, much like the way Shelby (and Holman & Moody) built the original GT40's and whupped everybody, and
(3) it has cost appreciably less. In other words, a more efficient use of capital & brains.

It would be nice to stack a Veyron against Joe's car just to prove a point, although it's really not necessary. There is no contest. You Florida guys rule. Hats off to you! :bow :usa :usa

As I look across the new posts page, I see that Bony has the most recent post on every one of them (except one) - that has to be some kind of record!

Absolutely incredible!! I wonder how long it will take to get the ear to ear grin off your face?!

How you are able to tune this thing without breaking something is a real testimony. Cripes, what's kind of power will this thing record next? If this isn't king of the hill territory, I would like to know what is.
