@Boyracer5500 Thanks for clearing that up. I belive Roush Racing built the engines, am I correct?
-
@bandman232 that is nowhere near a nascar engine, #1 it runs on unleaded fuel (NASCAR at the time wasnt using it yet), it has fuel injection, makes around 500hp versus 750, its computer controlled, the power curves are less peaky like the high rpm circle track engines-the power band is strong mid range, doesnt rev to 8000rpm probably around 7000rpm, and the motor is wayyyy lighter than a cup motor.....this car goes left and right
-
This is what happens when you put a NASCAR engine into a street car :D

forza motorsports 8 footage

I've always wanted to drive it, but the closest I've got was on FM2, and the airfield portion was still slippery as hell. lol
-
@Anewera77 and forza 3 as well mate
-
damn that is some awsm footage right there
-
no i know the Panoz Ford Modular is built and tuned by Elan Powersports but the early Koenigsegg V8 was built and tuned by SHM as i noted earlier. today though, they use their own in house built V8 as you noted
-
You are referring to Panoz, right? I know Koenigsegg makes their own engines now and has for a while now.
-
yea they origianlly contacted SHM (sean hyland motorsports) out of Canada to setup and tune the 4.7L Stroker (284ci) and used them in the first few variations of the CC series...they are now using their in-house engine,
That is some excellent footage. No announcers distracting from the fierce sounding engine either. And I'll get to see it at Sebring this weekend! Awesome video, thanks!

the track is mostly old world war two concrete airstrip...not much grip...you can see and hear it slide around the corners as is, i dont think he is braking too much
