Cant believe it how amazing is this ad?!

The fastest street legal one according to East Coast Supercharging site, which is fully tubbed with Hoosiers etc only manages to be about a tenth quicker.

Pretty impressive considering its on stock internals, and normal tyres

Think I will have to buy it and pan the Veyrons head in!!!

If those figures are true, that is quite mental!

[ian_uk1975]

I've contacted the seller (dealer) about the exact spec of the car, but they have no idea. They've referred me to a place that has looked after it for a few years (have yet to contact them). Interior looks a bit tired.

700bhp would mean dangerously high boost and a short-lived bottom end if it's not forged. Personally, I doubt it's putting-out 700bhp.

9.4 ET would be impossible on road tyres and would need a seriously beefed-up driveline to cope.

It's rather annoying when ads like this appear with nothing to substantiate the claims being made.

Cheers,
Ian.

Yeah that was my point exactly, there is no way its doin a 9.4 standing 1/4!!!

Its just a stupid advert with no meat on the bones...
Its probably got a charger that is capable of producing power that could get that time but you would be talking serious upgrades to everything
Tyres
Transmission
Forged Engine
Clutch

etc etc.....

Hehehehe

[SeeFive]

I don't see that performance coming out of that little charger bolted on the side. 9.4 1/4 mile? - I was at a run what you brung at the Pod on Saturday, and the only stuff that was running 9's were bikes, and proper track cars.

Also, I'd call the mileage into question looking at that interior, and the state of the paint on the nosecone.

All of this is by looking at the pictures and having no other details at all, which may not do the car justice, but nothing is stacking up for me at the moment.

A little hype (at best) I'd suggest.

dosen't even say what blower he is running. i would want to see both time slips and grapghs as a bit of proof. the power could be made reliable even on stock internals and has been done on LS2 and 3 stuff. however there would have to be more stuff on the car, headers, meth injection, fuel system mods to say the least.

Looking at the centre console I'd say it was last owned by a fiddler crab!

I'd guess the blower was an ATI Procharger. The Vortechs get bolted onto the other side.

East Coast Supercharging do a Paxton Novi2000 with the base kit coming in at 600hp. This same Blower is
good enough for 900hp, but the kit for SC900 package includes a fully forged 402 cui engine, forged rods and crank, different heads and cam etc etc and a lot more boost.

That will get you a car with a 9 second engine but you would need to spend an equal amount of money on the tranny and drivetrain.

I beg to differ on that point. The word 'reliable' is a subjective term, but there's no way I'd want to run 700bhp using stock cast pistons! The tranny synchros wouldn't last long, either. This is all assuming you use the power on a regular basis. If you drive like Miss Daisy, I'm sure it would be reliable on stock internals!

I think stock internals is pushing it a little far. 500-550hp on a 346ci I can see with stock internals and not beating it up too much. Plenty of guys in the States doing this.

346ci with the right setup should be able to make 700hp though and be streetable. And I'd have thought fairly ok reliability wise - its not as if you'd get the chance to red line it in all the gears that often is it?

If your definition of streetable EXCLUDES traction, then 700bhp is fine! I struggle with traction, at times, with a lowly 400(ish)bhp and Pilot Sports.

There's really only one reason for having 700bhp in a RWD car... drag racing. It would see maximum revs quite often!

It's called F U N and in capitals lol

[malc350]

This is easy to sort out: if he has a printed timeslip from a dragstrip that says "1/4 mile: 9.4 seconds" then that's what the car does.

If not, then you know the rest.....

9.4's...full weight, low profiles..come on just cant see it happening, in the brochure maybe
Low 9 second car and the spec includes blower & Borla stinger exhaust! Takes more than dyno numbers.

I fully agree with you,even running slicks i would doubt this car could run into the 9,s like you say in the brochure maybe.

[stevieturbo]

There is no debate here.

Even stripped out, automatic race car on slicks with that power, is never managing that time, or near it.

And with manual....he'd be doing well to get into the 10's nevermind his make believe time
