DAMMIT I WANT A DAMN CAR

Cool, those are rare. The only thing I am surprised with is the bolts. Keep this in mind though -- top alcohol/fuel use roots or screws. Imagine what they'd make with centrifugals or turbos HAH Anyway, nice "car". The fastest car I have now is my GranTurismo -- and it's not fast at all. I sold my 240 a year and a half ago after having moved to Boston. Awww I miss it though

@RIPSNZ You know now that I think about it, why the hell hasnt' someone built a badass drag car with a turbocharged formula one motor and a transmission with a clutch bigger than 6 inches?

[RIPSNZ]

@chemao1978 BTW, my motor is not 2JZ, its nissan RB30 with a totally stock block (no filler), stock crank, stock mains caps, stock mains bolts, wet sump, full cooling system, run on petrol etc etc, 1400hp reliable for 3 years at the same hp/ci as the top alcohol boys :-)

[RIPSNZ]

@chemao1978 I agree and its nice to see you are open minded about engines unlike some yanky V8 fans who think there's no way anything else could be better. F1 use to be turbo'd in the 80s and they reliably made 1500hp from 1500cc (91ci) so thats 16.5 hp per ci way back in the 80s with enough reliability to go round a race track at full noise several times, not bad at all, Imagine what could be done now with modern efi and turbo's, as you say 20hp/ci is probably not out of the question.

[chemao1978]

@RIPSNZ is more contact points on the shaft = better torque. Now that I'm thinking about it, I wonder how much more power a top fuel engine could make with a turbo isntead of a roots supercharger. I guess it would be too much to keep the engine together. And a 2.4 litre turbo V8 that revs to 20,000 RPM would be... ridonkulous. :)
