Ford Mustang Cobra

[izzyloveslizzy]

That @ 800HP? NOS'ed up probably. I've seen a crazier Mustang than that by the way. It's quarter mile was ~11 s. @ 110MPH (as I remember). I don't know doesn't sound right I'll have to check the source (if it's still alive).

I was reading car craft the other day, an older issue. A man wrote in about a mustang he created. It had a 7.3L Powerstroke (navistar) T444E diesel. Tweaked to better than 500hp and 1,000 ft/lbs. I'd bet that would probably do a heck of a burnout.

Anyone have a more crazy mustang they've heard of.

[T88TurboStang]

Hey you must remember htat the CObra has IRS, so wheel hop is bad, if he had the GT solid rear axle, atleast .5 second to 1 second diff....trsut me it makes that much of a diff...

he was using a 70 shot n20, but wants to move up to 150....god damn that stock blower is strong, i give it up to eaton for an amazing machine. Ford claims the most is 500 hp. He had the stock thing up to 600 untill he put the Kenne bell blower on....!!! can you say, "lightspeed Chewy"....hehe

[izzyloveslizzy]

The Mustang I was talking about didn't have a Diesel (that would be way more Torquey and cool). But it did have a monster ~1100HP or so. And the Torque was at about the same number (maybe slightly lower). And it had some serious performance numbers. Very impressive indeed, but also getting a bit too pointless. I'll find the link to it and post it Fox.

at a local mustang shop, XMP. they are building a 2 valvle single turbo 4.6 SOHC mustang, with 1200 hp, n20 and alcohal injected. It is oging to run at silverstate, and is suposedly goign to be hte fastest Two valve convertible in the world, exceeding 200 mph. This guy has so much money, that he rolled up in his 550 maranello, and dropped of his car, worte a check for 50 thousand dollars. TOld the guys what he wanted, and has been in work for hte past 6 months...lol

Now thats power.!!!

[thepolarfoxqx]

Wow. Wild stuff. Alcohol injected!!! Man, sounds like you are building a WW2 fighter plane. The two valve head is restrictive as all get out, that thing will probably sound like some sort of reject from the metal shop in hell, which will of course be absolutely awsome as it streaks past you at 150 - still smoking the tires.

[T88TurboStang]

Dude, you should see the intake manifold, it is a HOGANS direct port intake, freaken thing stand 2 feet high above hte heads, and adds 100plus HP with the turbo, alcohal, n20, turbo, Monster intercooler. The guy has the whole inside cages, and outside is saleen speedster look alike. Fuel safe fuel tank, full racing suspension......badahss stang!!!

[thepolarfoxqx]

that sounds like a dragste.

[T88TurboStang]

ehhh it could be, but the set up like is aid is the guy wants to go to silverstate, and be hte fastest, most powerful two valve convertible in the world!!! over 200 mph......

[thepolarfoxqx]

that would be cool. You know John Lingenfelter got a aerondynamically modified (and much tuned) Camaro past 300. That was a bored 5.7L TT. His website has all the specs on it. It is a chevy, but 300, wow.

Hallo thepolarfoxqx,

 

schau doch mal hier zum Thema Zubehör für US Cars (Anzeige)? Eventuell gibt es dort etwas Passendes.

[T88TurboStang]

yea the sledghammer was at first i belive 254, but i bielve they got it faster than that, yea i remember that ish was so freaken crazy, when i read it i said, Mclaren what. The key question was how fast does it get to that speed though as well.. nonethe less badahhs....

[izzyloveslizzy]

T88, the 2-valve 1xTurbo 4.6 SOHC 'Stang must be getting most of it's power from NOS right? I doubt the performance numbers a bit, but for all I know it's good. I'd appreciate a link or something (if there IS one). Personally I don't see why a 550 would be dropped for a souped-up Mustang.

Alcohol Injected ain't nothing new (at least not on paper), but I've never seen an alcohol injected engine at work (though I've seen hybrids).

The dude who supposedly wrote the 50-grand cheque and ordered this thing should wait for the next-version of the Mustang and modify THAT instead. Now that would be a phat-looking super-performer that'll turn heads.

Props to the dude who's actually gonna do that. I love it when bizzarre and unlikely engines are taken to their limits and beyond to beat better engine configurations.

And what's this 300MPh Camaro you're talkin' about? It certainly peaks my interest.

[thepolarfoxqx]

The 4.6L SOHC V8 could get very high outputs without chemical injection, but alcohol and nitrose would make it easier. The current platform, the "Fox Body" mustang is a very good platform for modification because of its simple, strong, easily modified platform, anything can be dropped out and switched out quickly with good results. The next generation will be based on the very sophisticated DEW-Lite platform developed by jaguard, used in the next generation XJ, the current S Type, Lincoln LS, and T-Bird. That could get a little more difficult to work with once you get so much power that the whole driveline needs to be buffed up.

University of Michigan and General Motors wind tunnel optimized a camaro body, and John Lingenfelter bored, turbocharged, and tweaked a 5.7L LS1 for the occasion, the combination of the two was a top speed of 298mph.

[izzyloveslizzy]

Whoa I bet the thing flew (and handling must've been hell). I'd like more info about the HP rating, turn rate Gs, Torque, Milage, everything! Sounds crazy. Did they lose anyone in the process of testing it?!

it is at a local shop... XMP, they ahve a website, but it aint there yet. You will see, it will be in many magazines very very soon, like i said homey ,he wants to run at SILVERSTATE, a high speed race and he wants to be hte fastest two valve convertible in the world. The 550 is just his poootang boooty car....lol

This guy has a yellow murcieloagon on 21s, this guy si filthy rich, plus this platform and htis body style he has just was an A+ to making it his fast baby....hehe

[izzyloveslizzy]

Thanx bro. But you didn't say anthing about the Camaro. Never heard of this 300MPH thing.

I guess the filthy rich dude is crazy enough. I'm doing stuff like that right now (making crappy old things better than new things), only not on engines cuz I'm strapped for green a bit right now. I'd definitely do some crazy stuff like that myself in the future. But first I'd probably tune a car like the Sirius to infinite HorsePower and Lbs-Ft. of Torque and beyond. Hadling would be more-or-less non-existant I know, but I wanna make something like a sirius break the sonic barrier on the highway!

By the way I didn't know Murcielago had even made it to the U.S. yet.

[thepolarfoxqx]

it isn't about horsepower, it is how much power you can put down in a drivable fashion. If you have a car like the sirius which makes tons of power, but has issues getting it down, and insn't easily driven at the limits, it won't be half as fun as a porsche 911 turbo, which makes plenty of power, puts it down great, and lets you use all it's got.

[izzyloveslizzy]

Right on, I couldn’t have said it better myself. That being said, I DO think it’s a little bit about HorsePower, and I said that, considering that possible improvement would be made to the Sirius to make it take advantage of all 1334HP and 1334lbs-ft..

[thepolarfoxqx]

i dont' think anything (short of shear mass) will fix the issues sirius has. I give them points for the violent engine (its exhaust manifolds glow red), but not for being a drivable car. Cars 1/8 its price can shame it on the track, and that is sad. It seems that keeping the design elegant and relatively simple yields the best car. Look at porsche, the 911 used the same platform for 30 years, because it was simple, and it worked. It wasn't showy or ostentatious, it did the job well. 'nuff said.

[izzyloveslizzy]

Ya no dobt 911's are pure and solid driving machines. I'd love to see a Porsche (or an Egg) tweaked to ~1400HP. They would literally fly. Literally.

[thepolarfoxqx]

the thing is izzy, those cars are designed so well, they don't need 1400horsepower, they go fast on half that, and the people who build them are plenty capable, and very smart, they know how to build big powerful engines, and they choose to put the engine in their they find best for the total experience of the car. There is only so fast a car can be.

[izzyloveslizzy]

That’s precisely why I said that. If Egg can get 400KPH from 655HP and 553lbs-ft., then a car with 1400HP and 1400bs.ft. should do 800KPH roughly. That definitely depends on aerodynamics and hundreds of other issues which, apparently, companies like Lotec haven’t ironed out yet. I think there definitely IS only so fast a car can be, but what sets that barrier is defined by the technology and the level of thinking of the time. For example, the barrier in the 1900's was about ~200KPH. No one thought it would be possible to make a car go faster than ~200KPH. Andre Citroen thought it would be possible to do it but not safely. He thought cars at those speeds would have the same problems that we think cars will have nowadays if they're pushed to ~300KPH. Handling is aweful (or non-existent) and the drievr 's chances of survival are slim if he is to actually "drive" the machine. Truthfully there's another ~200KPH (by my standards) that cars can and should be pushed to. About ~600KPH. Half the speed of sound is all I ask, with decent emmissions, milage, and obviously handling/driveability/safety.

[thepolarfoxqx]

survival at high speed isn't neccesarily bad. At those speeds, it is all about the driver.

[T88TurboStang]

hey i just fouind a piece of advice that just blew my mind

the buggati w16 veyron goes from 0-190 mph in sub 14 seconds...OMFG taht is insane!!!

[thepolarfoxqx]

I know. you know that is one of the things you test out when you pull up next to a cop at a stoplight. By the time he is at 75, you are going 180 - and are miles ahead.
