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

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

yes, i guess the figures speak for themselves..
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

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
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.Originally Posted by clutch-monkey

Miss me?
By the way, I love this car. It ought to dominate all other supercars.
id still take a mclaren f1 over a saleen..... just slap 2 turbos onto the mclaren? then its all even again?
we are talking about a Twin turbo car beating naturally aspirated cars? it doesnt really compare? well saleen have done well ill admit thats one sickk car there lol
!!!!!!!
Twin Turbo on a McLaren F1...are you crazy. You might even brake the 300mph bar.Originally Posted by KeRmIt
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.Originally Posted by pAinTrAin
