didn't one of the guys on here say to hit 250mph or so you would need a huge increase in HP due to the exponential increase in drag from 200 to 250?

On my run I was a bit surprised that 1161 went over the top but basically believe cold air, race gas and a couple mile run helped big time. ... I can see a GT cruising at 175-180 no issue other than chewing through fuel ... but 250 + .... uhhhhh I'm having an issue believing that one...
 
1 e-Bay rating...Florida Scarface mafo :lol
 
No way at 838 rwhp there is what it takes to hit that in a mile and a half... or period...

well maybe going down a mountain :willy

need a lot more power than that to overcome the drag on our gals...

I was thinking the same thing, and further more I find it hard to believe its making 838 with a whipple 24lbs boost, that must be a very generous dyno, or the car is on the verge of blowing up:eek
 
nitrous

Soroush - Have you hit the nitrous at over 200 mph yet?

nitrous + Whipple = crazy

Nitrous + Whipple can smoke a TT. Now Soroush is a crazy man so I wouldn't put it past him to do the SC, TT with nitrous!!!

I was assuming over the edge..... assuming the mountain was high enough.

or a couple of JATO bottles .... if they made an Impala fly only imagine what a GT would do. :rofl:rofl (and before someone hits me with it ... I know its an URBAN LEGEND!!!) :wink
 
Uh, no comment.
 
Well.... I will comment!

I have reviewed the claims of this tuning shop. I have spoken to four experts and they feel that these claims are pushing the edge of creditbility.

Therefore, when they approached me to become a site sponsor, I advised them that we are adequately represented by Heffner, Hennesey, Torrie.

Of course anyone is free to deal with anyone they choose to.
