2005 Saleen S7 Twin Turbo

[clutch-monkey]

yes but the f40 only had a 3L V8TT, to save weight over a V12. and the saleen was very fast n/a. i don't know why, i just think superchargers is more acceptable on a big engine, like the koenigsegg/amv600

[fpv_gtho]

Its an interesting thought. Both wouldve worked pretty good, but i suppose when youve got a 7L engine how can you resist not sticking a couple of snails on

[clutch-monkey]

yes, i guess the figures speak for themselves..

[fpv_gtho]

Should be interesting to see how far someone pushes one, 7L and a pair of ball bearing turbo's, you'd think there'd be hardly any lag

[clutch-monkey]

i think we'll be seeing someone reach 1000hp just because they can
i wonder if saleen will have reliability trouble now that they have two turbos fitted

[fpv_gtho]

Maybe at the next SEMA we'll see something

That always seems to draw out the idiots

That would be really surprising, there only running 5.5 psi maximum boost.

what a monstrosity....hmmm, I dunno, TT seems a bit much on such a large engine, but whatever floats your boat.

(Top Gear laps)

Dodge Viper SRT-10 (~500bhp) - 1 Minute, 28.5 seconds
BMW M3 CSL (~360bhp) - 1 Minute, 28 seconds

Chevrolet Corvette (~400bhp) - 1 Minute, 26.8 seconds
Lotus Exige S2 (~190bhp) - 1 Minute, 26.4 seconds

Lambourghini Murcielago (~580bhp) - 1 minute, 23.7 seconds
Porsche GT3 RS (~400bhp) - 1 minute, 22.3 seconds

Porsche Carrera GT (~610bhp) - 1 minute, 19.8 seconds
Ariel Atom 2 (~300bhp) - 1 Minute, 19.5 seconds

Big numbers don't mean fast laps.

(Anyone pointing out that the latter cars are lighter, more track orientated cars will get a kick up the arse for pointing out the blatently obvious, we're just talking about power.)

True, its all in the gear setup

Twin Turbo on a McLaren F1...are you crazy. You might even brake the 300mph bar.

That would be crazy on the road... I mean when most are driving ~80 mph on the highway, and u would press the throttle to the bottom.... u'll get tunnelvision for sure :P.
