In acceleration it matches the Veyron. With a power to weight ratio of just 2.7 lbs.  0 to 100 km/h times in less than 2.5 sec. and a 0-300 km/h time of around 14 seconds < Message edited by Jviper -- 11/20/2007 12:31:55 PM > (in reply to truckin151) Post #: 5

How is taking one of the fastest cars in the world and making it faster building anything??? All he does is slap turbos on it and call it a day.... IF any single person here had the money, we could dump the same amount of money into half the cars on the planet and probably attain those speeds... You want to talk impressive??? http://www.bankspower.com/sidewinder.cfm Set a world record, and then pull the equipment trailer home on the STREET....instead of being put on a trailer.... _____________________________ Are you in the Midwest???

Frustrated with the idiot above; huh?!?!? Idiot? Word of advice, I'd suggest you look in the mirror before you call anyone an idiot........ But since you dont get it.... I'll explain it.... Chase is a hardcore Viper fan.... I'm not.... and I'm not impressed by Hennessey at all.... it doesnt take a lot of work to build a fast turbo car when you start with one of the fastest cars on the planet to begin with.... Chase and I agree to disagree on this quite frequently... _____________________________ Are you in the Midwest??? Well we are doing a Charity Car show in Indiana on July 12th.

He is right It doesn't take alot of work to take a fast car and slap on turbos and make it faster. All you have to do is. 1. Find the right Turbo. 2. Get a Higher volume fuel pump 3. Change out the pistons to lower compression, this is of course if you want alot of boost. 4. change the fuel mapping system on the car, so that it runs and doesn't explode. 5. change the exhaust. 6. rout all the plumbing for the turbo. 7. Upgrade the brakes so that you have the stopping power, Ie. the faster you go the better your brakes need to be. 8. Upgrade the cooling system. 9. im bored and done with this.

Point is, the cars he makes are some of the fastest in the world and I'd imagine when you're behind the wheel of one, none of this trivial stuff matters. _____________________________ Dodge News: http://www.dodgeforum.com/forumid_42/tt.htm http://www.cardomain.com/ride/3051794 (in reply to 94rt10ohio) Post #: 14

I have never heard bad things about http://www.undergroundracing.com/   http://www.lingenfelter.com/ does not have this bad rep.  Bottom line, there are to many turners and builders with good running businesses to deal with BS. < Message edited by 94rt10ohio -- 11/22/2007 5:55:02 AM > _____________________________ -94 Viper RT/10<--Click -04 Ram SRT-10<--Click Supercharged! -05 Ram 4x4 Hemi (in reply to Midnight) Post #: 15
