    Polly Motorsport Trans Am

    Hi guys,

    I know this is not a production car but supposedly it just set the European speed record for street legal cars, which in itself I found interesting enough to post.

    http://www.pollymotorsport.no/index.php?mapping=2

    It's an '84 T/A built by Norwegian Polly Motorsport featuring an 8.8 ltr (540 cui) aluminium block from Donovan Engineering, supercharger from Procharger and a lot of other parts I unfortunatly don't know that much about. End result is 1407hp - although it doesn't say if it's on the crank or rear wheels.

    As for the claimed record, it reached 407.134 km/h (252.98 mph) in a recent test which has been verified by Automotive Testing Papenburg GmbH (whoever they are). Video of the run can be found here: http://www.pollymotorsport.no/index.php?mapping=86

    The engine and performance data is on the first link so I'll just leave it at this: it does a 0-300 km/h (186.4 mph) run in just 12.22 seconds. I'm not up to speed with the Asian speed records - no pun intended - but I do believe this is faster than Veilside's old R32 GTR. However, had it been a record they would have probably stated that on the site as well. Still, it's bloody fast.

    All in all, even though this is clearly a car modified and built for sheer speed and acceleration, I guess this means the Norwegians, Danes and Swedes are about to go head to head for the Euro speed record for street legal cars.

    this is where they got snob remarks from the AMG team right before their warm up laps set a speed higher than the fastest AMG, yeah? lol @ mercedes barges

    Yessir, this would be the car that made the smug AMG engineers go "Have fun with KITT". True or not, it's enough to make me smile - even though the Polly people are Norwegians.

    I still think they should have named it 'the Norwegian Blue'.

    So is this faster than the Veyron?

    Fantastic.

    BTW... Does the digital speedometer there (located on the top near the camera) measure in MPH or KPH?
    Everything ends at 666...

    Did they convert this to AWD? I am asking as under the tab 'Tuning' it says : "2wd blir 1200 drivhjulshester, for 4wd en god del mer!". No idea what it means and could not find it easily either. I am no tech expert but can the modifications they did on the car help it to achieve enough traction? 1407 BHP is insane!

    They are just advertising their dyno. It can handle 1200 rwhp and a lot more hp for 4wd cars

    It is rearwheel drive.

    There will be an amasing tv show on RTL2 about this car on 1st november.
    The tv show grip extreme have been filming and done amasing stunts with the car on papenburg racetrack in germany.

    Absolutely worth watching
