JohnA Posted May 6, 2005 Share Posted May 6, 2005 It's all in the mind dude... They have a section on their site called "Myth's and facts" Judging from their spelling, their facts may be watered down (just a bit) Surely a 1400bhp Supra would do low nines easily, eh Dude?

Supragal Posted May 6, 2005 Share Posted May 6, 2005 If threy "know" it's 1400bhp they must have a rolling road printout or something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Terry S Posted May 6, 2005 Share Posted May 6, 2005 Now that car is fast, but not 1400 bhp fast. Look at the terminal speeds. I think Leon did a 148mph, and the guys in the US with less BHP than that run 160+ terminals. Be a shame not to see it at TOTB tho. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnA Posted May 6, 2005 Share Posted May 6, 2005 Yeah, terminal speed is a good indicator of horsepower. But for this sort of claimed power I'd expect a much higher trap speed... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex Posted May 6, 2005 Share Posted May 6, 2005 But they have just rebuilt her....and lets face it CRD don't exactly pansy about. 1400hp is probably too high a figure but I wouldn't be amazed to see it was close to that now. Really depends on the turbo spec...is it big enough to flow that much power? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Menghini Posted May 6, 2005 Share Posted May 6, 2005 My guess it's around 900 bhp.... My car did 155 mph with aprox 100-150 hp less then i got now..... I don't know if they rebuilt the engine after that trapspeed they got.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Terry S Posted May 6, 2005 Share Posted May 6, 2005 V160 we think Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Menghini Posted May 6, 2005 Share Posted May 6, 2005 V160 we think Ok...then it's good with a 9...But the trapspeed should have been much higher if the car got those bhp Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gaz Walker Posted May 6, 2005 Share Posted May 6, 2005 Course it'll run at TOTB... the £40k is just for PR Gaz. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
