I was going to post that - beat me to it.

I saw these earlier on ViperAlley and I must say that the SVS Stryker is awesome!! I loved the backfire in one of the vids. Was that the SVS Stryker the Stg.3 package, which has about 1200bhp/1200ibs/ft?

I made a thread about this on the Corvette board (got me about 2 replies, one from venom500, and 2 of my own replies). I agree with you that if we spend the same amount of cash as the GT-R boys then they would have something to worry about in the name of friendly competition (and I mean the same amount of cash, not half the amount of cash). I made an identical thread on this Viper board (with changing the odd car name ) that got 3 replies and one from a 10 second Viper owner in the USA, but there were/are very good and legitimate reasons why there are no 10 second Vipers in the UK.

As for the British mags showing it or not, they will - depending on the mag. At TOTB2, the two mags who provided the most coverage where Jap Performance and Redline (yeah, I know what you lot probably think of that mag). You can imagine that Jap Performance would not even mention the non-Japanese cars for obvious reasons, and that is just what they did, making the event sound like a Jap-car only event (even at TOTB1, a non-Jap car won the handling circuit, but this was covered up by the mag) - it sucks when you want a fair and accurate report on the event, and if the even has none-Jap cars and you won't provide a fair coverage of them, then don't report the event! However, Redline obviously provided details of non-Jap cars where they could and showed fair coverage, without blatantly ignoring the non-Jap cars. The results table had Vipers, Vettes, Cosworths and other non-Jap cars where they finished in the standings, unlike Jap Performance.

Will be interesting at TOTB2 as im sure that at least 3 or 4 American cars will be pushing out at least 750bhp and I know of one car that will definatley be there with over 800bhp!!!!!?

[Viper]

so your running NOS next year then ?

[blown5.0]

i have won the bid for some incon twin turbos, up to 900 or so bhp , but i do know of a mercury couger running a big block ford with twin turbos in Uk puts out 1600 hp and weighs in at near 4000lbs, goes 0 to 173 in just over 8 seconds on street treads.

[z064life]

venom500,

Let me guess - this would be your Diablo?

Blown5.0,

Incon went bust, BTW.

Err don,t understand what you mean?I,m refering to Joel/Steve K/Bored out ZR1 and Barry!Calm down Neil.........Nope were still running the same spec as last year(fastest NA car) but with Kumos instead of worn out Mitches as this should be enough on its own to put us into the 11,s.

[blown5.0]

incon went bust a few years a go i think but i know there kits were pretty good , many a mustang made 600rwhp and low 10 to high 9s in the quarter , i think the 900 hp was a little bit hopeful but i do know of a twin turbo kit for a mustang made by tti,for sale at the moment two t60e turbos , 1250 hp but a little over kill for the street.Joe spetter jun ran a simmlar kit , i think he ran high 7s at 175 mph in the quarter in a fox mustang on 10.5"slicks mind you that was a few years ago , chuck samuel has gone 6.3 at 219mph with a turbo small block ford so jap cars should play with these guys and then see what happens when money is no object.

[z064life]

Couldn't agree more with your last statement - Jap vs. USA. The Mustang aftermarket scene is huge, and growing. Hell, even Ford puts money and helps the industry.

Me again!
