Sweet.......the thought of taking this on the track gives me goose bumps....think about it! Virtually no traction in the back....*drool* hows that for a challenge
"What was that about a European challenge?"
Dont forget that Europe is not as hp hungry as America mate With enough money you can make 1000bhp out of virtually anything...look at those Japaniese 4banger or 6 motors......without enough shinny wires and spark plugs you can make a moped go faster then a 996.

oh my fucking god that thing is insane :shock:
i remember reading a thread on some Viper forum about a guy who said his Viper became totally undrivable above 1000hp (would have wheelspin at like 160mph+ he said).
sure hope this guy fits some nice slicks and racing suspension when he tracks it, that thing could kick a C5-R's ass with a skillfull driver (or maybe even with no skillful driver depending on the car's manners now, you could go slow through corners and still make up time on even the smallest straights).
now can somebody convince him to take it to the Ring?

That vette may have a lot of power, but how good is it when a couple of corners come up?

No different to any other 1000hp car - requires skill and control.
Hell even a Macca F1 or Enzo can't just be thrown around like a Golf Diesel through the turns - it takes skill to master them... just witness the number of smashed up Enzos over the last year...

i must say i congradulate the owner for asking the boost to be 'turned down'
to me, the most impressive thing about this fucking insane Z is its low end torque/hp numbers are still amazing! (sure the boost piles on @4500, but look its at 300 ft.lbs @3000 revs looks quite drivable every day !
thanks for the great Z find, RC

The most amazing thing about this car - it is still using the stock 346ci displacment with a stock block.
I guess this tops the Supras claim as the "highest power stock blocked modified car"... or what ever it was the Supra guys have been claiming...

Very impressive to get 1000 Bhp from anything, but especially from a stock block. That will fire down the 1/4 mile (providing you can get traction) but I don't really think he will ever be able to fully exploit the power without a serious race set up with tyres and suspension - "Power is nothing without control".

I could not even imagine how wierd it would be to get wheel spin past 100 mile per hour. insane

i didnt see anything about squeezing nitrous on the 'vette. that doesn't count.
Chevy stil makes the best blocks to handle the power that can be made for stuff like that

Your point?
Lets see the dyno charts and timeslips.. anyone can advertise lies..
Cartek have more than 200hp extra on hand to tune out of this setup.
The supra is an over hyped dyno queen gay ass car - always has been...
Can't turn or stop worth a shit out of the box... and even modified it is nothing more than a ricer wannabe..
