wow chitty car:ermm:






j/p that thing is awesome. when he stomped on the gas jeez. lol

[Scott-300ex]

he spun the tires ON THE DRUM!!!!!!!!!!????????:eek: :eek: :eek:

[spud400ex]

1076rwhp. now that car has some balls

[markk]

If u think that cool u should see my Elcamino!!!!!!! j/k!!!!!! the only thing i have on it, is that mine sounds better!!!!


1 thousand hp, is only about 1/7th of the hp that the top fuels put out!!!!


that is a sweet street rod though!!!!!

[redlined94]

now that is a true muscle car!!! I'd love to take that out and show up some people.

[I-7]

:eek2: :eek2: :eek: :eek:

WOW :eek2: :eek2: :eek2: :eek2: :eek2:

[BOONE450R]

sweet, twin turbo GNX. Conley performance is close to the house here, they have some Grand Nationals in there that can pump out big numbers like that and they look and o most sound stock. 1000HP out of a V-6 thats bad @$$.

[Quad18star]

SICK video .... I'd love to get my hands on a Buick GNX one day . BIG $$ though !!

Its actually about a fifth...a top fuel motor is around 5k.

[BOONE450R]

5k? two years ago maybe, they turn about 7k now

It's amazing at how fast those motors rev and how high they rev .... Must be nice to make a 4 second pass and tear down an engine every time . Them valves are just a floating ... :p

It's insane .... i remember someone posting info about the different specs those motors have ... then I seen it on NHRA . Its something like a 1/3 of the way down the track , the plugs aren't creating the spark ... the fuel is igniting itself from the heat .

[BOONE450R]

i know thats rocket science baby

[LazeR]

I've had that video for awhile......the first time i saw it, i couldnt believe he was smoking his tires on the dyno....wouldn't that make it so it didnt show the hp he actually had, it would show less if he is spinning ?

[SGA]

Holy sheet!:eek:
I want to drive that car!

Thats true, That means that a TOP FUEL is pushing a little over 900 hp. outa one cylinder!

[440ex2001]

FUN FACTS

Did you know …

… that the nitromethane-powered engines of NHRA Top Fuel dragsters and Funny Cars produce approximately 8,000 horsepower, about 43 times that of the average street car?

… that one cylinder of the eight cylinders of a

got that off the nhRA website

[JR3]

may be a stupid question but why idid all of a sudden his front end like lift up

[quadcustoms]

Its actually about a fifth...a top fuel motor is around 5k.

how can you compare a car with twin tubos and blinkers to a big block ground pounding top fuel car?like racing a alchahol against a 110 trike lol with no front wheel.
..
twin turbos have changed everything in drag racing,all the street classes have become a pissing contest with the turbos.
anybody go to bowlinggreen?

Your about 3k short. top fuel makes alot more than 5k

[BlazingYamahaYz]

thats nuckin futs! i was waiting for the turbos to spool and start whistlin, and then he hammered it and lit em up! holy crap...anyone know if he has any timeslips? any more dyno sheets?

[lil400exman]

torque man! the power puts force on the rear end and the front pushes up.....................while your quad is in nuetral just give it some gas while you are sitting there and feel the seat dive a little bit.....same concept but with much more power :macho

[JForestZ34]

To me that doesn't sound like the v-6 in there. SOunds more like a stock car motor. I would think with the work done to it it could sound like that.

James

P.S. I want one:D

[FasstMidnightZ]

that thing is awsome

[chris450R]

i have had that video for about a year and no it is not a V6, it is a V8. when he starts it you can clearly hear the lump of the two extra cylinders of the V8. and yes it was not an accurate reading because he spun the tires. the front end lifted so much because he stomped the throttle and the twin turbos sticking out of the hood spooled up! i have a seen a video of an all-wheel drive twin turbe skyline that almost jumped off the dyno when the guy punched it and the turbos spooled. they did have it strapped down but it still jumped like crazy!

[Ridin' Jesse]

reminds me the 7000 hp car i saw at the county fair...holy **** man that car was insane..i was like 200 ft away from it and when the flames came out the back i was burnin up it was so hot

[lol]

tht car is crzy!!!!:eek2:

[Screamin440]

Interesting Top Fueler fact: Did you guys know that each spark plug has as much amperage run through it on each ignition cycle as an ARC welder puts out?

[markk]

BUMP THIS IS GREAT!!!!!!!!!

[Scott-300ex]

bump

everyones got to see this, its sweet


i can't find the link with the supercharged vette and the 9 second viper either:( so if you know wherE it is let me know.

and yes a modified V6 can sound like an 8 cylinder. myself and a few of my friends were wrong on a few occasions. one was when a local auto parts dealer had a replica nascar on display. when they fired it up and backed it out of the trailer,it sounded like one p*ssed off car.we were shocked after they popped the hood and discovered it was only a V6.
the other time is when my buddy got spanked in his 99 firehawk that was running 12's by a grand national.we all would have bet the farm that the guy put a V8 in it judging by the sound. sure enough it was only a V6 but a p*ssed off one at that:eek2:

I am at work, and don't have speakers, so maybe I am way off, but lump of 2 extrz cylanders? Do you mean lope of the cam? That has nothing to do with cylanders, it is the cam size spinning and making the car lope. Again, I haven't heard it, so I may be way off. I have seen GN's on tv and at shows with HP over 1000, and having the 3.8 V6. That is a bad engine, with tons of potential!

[bulkdriverlp]

wowo thats pretty impressive. dont know what its good for considering the speed limit is 55

[Scott-300ex]

yeah, he sure does stay the speed limit:p


none of my friends believed he spun the tires on the dyno so after about a month later, i showed it to them today, and they were all like:eek: "holy sheet", im like yeah, its awsome, and my friend loves and has wanted a GN forever

[ssrogers]

Y'all, It IS a V8

You have to see this. The video is called "too much boost". You'll see why.

Chris Chow's car is a V8, like ssrogers said. Lots of V6 cars do sound like V8s with the right exhaust. Mine sounds like one at idle through the mufflers, but when you get on it is screams V6. It's only in the 500hp range though.

[ssrogers]

That's a nice GN, Kansas T. Or, actually, nice Regal Turbo T.

You say your "only" 500hp, but to me that sounds pretty good. I mean, you are running 10s. That's pretty good.

[ssrogers]

That reminds me, and you would be the best to ask.

What is the difference between a GN and a Regal Turbo T?

[WEEZIL]

I have always been in love with GNX'S but now.. my lord.

GN's were all black and had black and gray interiors. TType's or Turbo T's came in all availible Regal colors and any interior color. They also got different looking, lighter weight wheels. You could also get them with bench seats, column shift, and even the limited package which usually had a vinyl top and stainless steel rocker panels. The Turbo T's are more of a sleeper car.

did you guys know it takes about 3-400 hp to turn over a top fuel cars blower?

top fuels are amazing

Quoted from the article below. "Under full throttle, a dragster engine consumes 1 1/2 gallons of nitro per second".

Lets see, 1.5 X 60 seconds = 90 gallons per minute

http://forum.soundillusions.net/archive/index.php/t-19139.html

Take a moment to check out the page at the link above, theres all kinds of cool facts in it.

[400exrules]

oh, well i was watchin a thing on tv that was like 2 hours long and it talked about the evolution of drag racers and they said todays nitro meth dragsters burn 150gal a minute..

idk.....

[wilkin250r]

It takes a while for those turbos to spool up. You can't put the power to the ground right away because you have very little low-end torque. It would take some very precise clutch control to get a good start on that thing.

Personally, I think it would be funny as hell to drag race in that thing. Your opponent will almost always get the jump and beat you off the line, because you have no low-end. Your opponent will think he's got you beat because hes a car length in front of you. Then, two seconds later, you pass him like hes standing still, and beat him to the finish by ten lengths.

[Scott-300ex]

-A nitro burning V-8 expends 400 of it's 7000 hp just to drive the supercharger. The equivalent of a Corvette Z06 engine just to spin the blower.
-At "the hit", with the car's clutch at maximum slippage, 4500 of those horses will be dissipated as heat alone.
-It takes 30 hp just to spin each fuel pump, with each pump flowing as much as 1.2 gallons per second at 530 psi.
-For every 15 seconds a funny car idles, the fuel load dwindles by a gallon at the nose. Idle too long and you'll throw weight shift out of whack.
-One brief burnout, followed by a 4.73 sec pass, will consume 15 gallons of nitro, at $15.75 per. But the average pass costs $2000 a second.
-At launch, the car pulls 5.0g of acceleration, holds 4.0g for 2.5 to 3.0 sec, then pulls 4.0 negative g when the chutes blast open. This caused racer Joe Amato to retire from racing when he couldn't keep his retinas attached.
-From rest, the car achieves 100 mph in 1.2 sec, and does so in just 100 ft, or four times it's own length. At half track, or 660 ft, the car hits 260 mph

In the same vein, I'll mention the now deceased Col. John Paul Stapp. A man who tested the limits of human G loading:

On December 10, 1954, Stapp strapped himself into a rocket sled and was accelerated to 632 mph. At this point he was decelerated in 1.2 seconds! :eek: This acceleration was in excess of 40 Gs! His body weight was momentarily about 6800 lbs. Wind blast and deceleration were equivalent to a high-altitude ejection at supersonic speed.

Here is an account of what he experienced:
Col. Stapp reported: "It felt as though my eyes were being pulled out of my head . . .I lifted my eyelids with my fingers, but I couldn't see a thing . . ..They put me on a stretcher, and in a minute or two I saw some blue specks . . . In about eight minutes . . . I saw one of the surgeons wiggle his fingers at me, and I was able to count them. Then I knew my retinas had not been detached, and that I wasn't going to be blind."

THAT WAS OFF THE LAST LINK POSTED


and wilkin250r you build up the boost by brake torqueing, go to some proffesional drag raced and they pre-stage, then build up the boost of the turbos for like 10 seconds, then stage, then take off, the older turbos used to lag a lot, but turbos now days are quicker, but they still get the rpm's up to a certian rpm before take off and then they got it all with them

Thats all just an old turbo myth. With the properly setup torque converter and turbo exhaust housing, boost comes on almost instantly. The video I posted of my car racing was with an old torque converter design. The new converter I have gives instant spool up and allowed me to produce over 700ft/lbs of torque.

[wilkin250r]

I have been schooled.

I'm okay with that, I never claimed to know anything about car engine build-up.
