TorqueSteer Posted November 22, 2005 Report Share Posted November 22, 2005 Can you give an estimated hp/torque rating or estimated 1/4 mile trap or E.T for these cars? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Che'_Moderator Posted November 22, 2005 Author Report Share Posted November 22, 2005 Can you give an estimated hp/torque rating or estimated 1/4 mile trap or E.T for these cars?HP is around 500 et and speed would depends on the gears. On a short set I would guess 10 in the 130 range. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On a short set I would guess 10 in the 130 range.Mid 11's would be a little more accurate. These cars are about equal to the vettes as far as HP/tq and acceleration. My fbody will outrun a Speed GT car in the 1/4. These cars make thier power fairly high up in the power band and have a narrow window to work with. They are also running close to street ratios in the final drive. That is dependant on the track though. But it is pretty much unheard of to be running ratios like a drag car would be (4.10, 4.11, 4.56 etc.). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

blitzpit Posted November 30, 2005 Report Share Posted November 30, 2005 I was checking one out with one of my inlaws. He's Volvo's head accountant. And They got one at his office in the loby along with a couple other "supped up" Volvo's, and Some guy who works there "high up there rich guy" took it out in the back which is like a large parking lot basically, and smashed the whole front end into a poll...And Now they're tryna fix the Darn thing before they gotta give it back....But the whole front end of that car crumbled up....I mean you'd think That under all the fiberglass they would have some sort of bumper...I'll take pictures and post em next week when I'm up there. I got engine photos to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I got engine photos to.That was one of the old demo cars I believe. Which was not even than supped up so someone was just dumb if thats the car I am thinking off. Also the fronts are not fiberglass, they are graphite and do have huge bumpes behind them. 3 2.5" steel tubes actually: Edited November 30, 2005 by Che' Admin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
