05GT Guru Posted December 9, 2015 Share Posted December 9, 2015 Badass, it would be interesting to see longevity tests as they claim 3000hp on pump gas daily driven tune. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ellesedil Posted December 9, 2015 Share Posted December 9, 2015 That thing is going need some serious mufflers before a state allows it to be registered/inspected. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Penguin Posted December 10, 2015 Share Posted December 10, 2015 So they took what appears to be GM LS V8 architecture and lashed two of them together with a common crank, cam, and intake manifold. Notice the gap in the intake runners between cylinders 4-5 on each bank. Meh. I fail to see any practical point. The car is unlikely to be able to utilize the power, and with such a long crank shaft and cam durability of both parts will be poor with way too much likelihood of flexing under load. The long cylinder heads will also be very difficult to keep evenly cooled as will the long block. I predict poor long term durability, and serious cooling problems.

Scruit Posted December 10, 2015 Share Posted December 10, 2015 It's going to get 2mpg. And rubber tires aren't going to be able to put 5khp to the ground. What kind of driveshaft will survive almost 2 tons of torsion? You'd have to use a propshaft from a cruise liner! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What kind of driveshaft will survive almost 2 tons of torsion? You'd have to use a propshaft from a cruise liner! Running gear from a Class 8 truck would hold up to the torque load given the lighter weight of the car. Don't worry the motor would stop working before it could do much damage to anything else. Sticking an engine on a dyno with a huge cooling reservoir and tons of space for components to get airflow and avoid heat soak, doesn't mean it will work in the car.
