Kinda wonder if they will be able to get the power down enough to take the record. When that turbo hits its gunna hit like the fist of an angry god.
why? :shrug:
Its not going to be able to put anywhere near that to the pavement. The viper guys have already been to the 2,500hp realm with no good results.
i want to know why the hell these guys aren't running lencos/jeffcos or something! the durability problems disappear, turbo boost is sustained while shifting gears(no shock to the tires), the number of gears you have is only limited by how many planetary units you decide to stack on top of each other(i'm sure parasitic loss is pretty large with more than 6 gears though), gear ratios are customer spec'd, no real reason not to run a planetary unit. it's pretty obvious why the ford GTs, lamborghinis, and any other mid/rear engine cars don't run them, but seems like a no brainer for your standard front-rear layout to me.Hopefully the ole Tremec holds together. Has always been a problem with cars that run them.
