damn, that thing looked hard to control from that exterior view. anyone know how much power/torque that thing has?
i fear for the drivetrain... :shock:

[Wutputt]

Around 900 bhp prolly.

@gobs3z: you should change the name of the car in R34 in your post, like you did in the name of the thread ;)

Fuck, that was crazy, looked extremely fast :shock:

But damn that thing is ugly :?

[DUNKiNUTS]

pretty fast. But its only for drag. :( i love all aroud cars

[gobs3z]

my bad on the post, it's deffinately an R34, sorry

[skituner]

pretty cool but in not a real fan of drags

[Cockrocket]

910bhp at the wheels, 1100bhp with Nitrous!!...although it is set up just for drag it is easy to change to track wotk probably. The thing is like a racing car, huge tyres, light, and completely stripped out with suspension upgrades!..great car!

I was going to say that 9.68 is a slow time considering they have GT-R's running in the low 8's high 7's, but I believe this car was on street tyres soo thats quite impressive.

Yeah im with you on the all round cars thing. Thats why i love that norwegen e34 M5 with over 1000bhp. Looks fun on the twisties and does a 9.4 quarter!

[Pimp Racer]

Thats just fucking crazy!

[findleybeast]

thats one damn quick car

[Skaala]

lots of black smoke... :?

^^
Quite normal. They are running quite rich (not super rich though) to give some extra cooling. And when changing up, the BOV's are fooling the ECU, so too much fuel is injected, causing a backfire. The unburned fuel ignites in the exhaust causing the black smoke. Pretty normal with quite highly modified engines.
