Uhm since when?
Every single day - and sometimes 3 times a day  .
That's since when.
You are aware that the Viper is a pushrod V10.. right? Turbo Vipers of over 1000hp are now common place - every tuner has one.
You are aware that the there are numerious 1000hp+ Chevy pushrod V8's from every tuner... right?
Before I jump to conclusions, I will give you the benefit of the doubt and assume you are not just arbitrarily bashing American pushrod engines because you hate them - but because you are misinformed..  |
i'm unsure about the "rigid rear axle" part right now... but i know its 4 wheel independant suspension; and there is a torsional bar beneath the motor that applies torque as the engine spins to keep the nose to the ground; where most cars the torque applies left/right, or even rearward...
the engine is 725-749 RWHP on pump gas; at 8psi... there is nothing to remotely try to argue about there... fact is plane as day.
on 114 racing octane, the car is 1200 RWHP @ 12psi; and the boost is fully adjustable built in (no aftermarket nessisary)
both the egine, and the trans can handle that beating with no complaints
Yg60m; thanks for the video... i couldn't find the turbo vids you were talking about in the vault...
