I think his claims are "interesting:eek" But worth a look.

Really? What about the "brick wall"? 'Anyone know where that is on a GT?

'Seems to me someone mentioned that around here once, but I don't recall what it was.

Spoke with Bernie minutes ago...
He is sorry for what he did and is moving on to new projects...
Will be opening up a tuning shop and concentrate on 3000hp Vipers and FgT's and then on to Lambo's. Mad Tuninh wants to be a forum sponsor.

300 MPH in a "street car" would definitely be interesting. I have been talking with a couple of ex-NASCAR guys who will soon be going after the world land speed record for a piston powered car. There's a lot more going on to do this and live to tell about it than you might think. For sure, you want downforce so that you don't take off, but too much downforce robs horsepower significantly. It's a fine balance.

Just last week we finished all of the surfacing for one of the cup cars in the 2009 NASCAR circuit. As NASCAR is now significantly limiting track testing, more teams are turning towards virtual Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) studies to understand air flow and downforce with various suspension set-ups. Computer simulations help, but still not perfectly matched to the real world.

I'm with Shelby, no way are the "boys" are big enough for these kinds of risks!

I've been hearing a lot about this car and how it is going to break SW's record at the Mile yadda yadda. I've also heard the 1800hp claim numerous times without any dyno sheets to back it up.

I really hope it shows up at the Texas Mile next month. It would be nice to see a GT hold the record if the claims are true.

The Heritage of course will push 355mph and has 175 shot.... which produced 2612hp...


Excuse me, while I take another hit on the hookah....

He speaks with such authority... I believe every word he says.

I would be willing to put down money that his mouth runs faster than the car.
