lust2luv Posted February 3, 2004 Share Posted February 3, 2004 Seems quite a common claim! Still, interesting article: Turbo & High-Tech Performance Magazine Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adam W Posted February 3, 2004 Share Posted February 3, 2004 A bit misleading though . . . it made 980rwhp ONCE, at 36psi, I think he said on supraforums he runs it at 24psi or so absolute max at the drag strip. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lust2luv Posted February 3, 2004 Author Share Posted February 3, 2004 Yeah, but I'm sure Tim Montgomery doesn't sprint flat out around his local Walmart. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nic Posted February 3, 2004 Share Posted February 3, 2004 It says it is an auto but shows a manual shifter in the photo??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bobbeh Posted February 3, 2004 Share Posted February 3, 2004 3 speed drag racing auto, not the MKIV box. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adam W Posted February 3, 2004 Share Posted February 3, 2004 But claiming "it's got 980rwhp" on the back of one dyno run is like me claiming "I can live underwater" because I can hold my breath. Me and the engine would both die if we tried to live up to those claims for than 30 seconds! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bobbeh Posted February 3, 2004 Share Posted February 3, 2004 About as realistic a claim as seeing your car up and running soon huh Adam Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
