Supercharged HSV? - Part 4

[Pickles]

Not sure whether it's relevant to this thread, but I'd suggest that the HRT car would have at least 680HP.
Cheers, Pickles.

Active Automotives GTS is pulling 570rwhp so is that around 700hp at the engine ??

Any idea what a supercar would do the 1/4 mile in ?

[white lie]

More like 750+

10.2-10.5 last time I seen them at the drag strip.

No idea on the COTF, those times where pre COTF.

Not quite that high, 620-640hp pulls them up.

Gotta disagree with that. I know some of the "slower" teams are 640+, I think you'll find that 670 is what some Teams are achieving, some may even have a little more.

Yeah I dunno Pickles, I know a guy (Not personally, my uncle moves drag cars/engines around for them and he builds my kart engines) who builds engines for a few teams and whilst he wouldn't give exact figures away he specifically said it was closer to 600 than 700. He also telling me about tolerances for the engines as far as HP and torque curves etc and what they have to be. He was telling my how much he has to defend the performance of the engines when a particular car may be down 5kp/h down Conrod and that pointing the finger at the driver for not getting a clean run out of Forrest Elbow was hurting him more than the engines performance...

Any idea when this happened as i spoke to eddie late friday arvo and he said that it made 570rwhp but had not been to the track yet.

At a private drag day at the Plex on Sunday !!

Was an ANDRA test and tune

[duke5700]

The only one I can find, it is 10.82, I can remember them going quicker. They don't exactly get out of the hole real quick, 60ft like me.

I thought they were all around the high 10's low 11's, even the Brock era VC/K's.

Those rev limites seemed suspiciously like there werent there on that run that would explain the 10s 1/4 times lol Instead of 7500rpm maybe 8500

680HP easily Luke. Got a mate who works for the team and with recent airbox revisions the power has improved

They were making 650HP pre aurora days after all
