PETEW Posted June 27, 2003 Share Posted June 27, 2003 That would be an interesting car to drive. I wonder if it's power band is all top or can it pull down low. Smoken em on the dyno is pretty cool, though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stony Posted June 27, 2003 Share Posted June 27, 2003 yea i think it pulls down low http://fasttrackperformance.com/page5/Chow%20movie%20files/chow_toomuch%20boost.mpg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scottie-GNZ Posted June 27, 2003 Share Posted June 27, 2003 Yup, that's Chris Chow, well known in the Buick community and probably one of many in his stable. That's a special-built 394ci with 90mm turbos and a MOTEC. That was a pretty decent HP number. I am going to see if I can get my buudy here in Orlando to bring his GN up to Reynolds for some exhibition runs. It is an NHRA legal SS/DX car, 3600lbs, TT stageII destroked to 3.5L and restricted to 46mm turbos!!! It runs 8.30 @ 160+ in class trim and that factors out to about 1200rwhp. Maybe he will swap out the turbos and put it in exhibition/kill mode for us. He has been talking about doing that to see if it can get a 7.9x. BTW, another SS/DX GN just became the 1st SS car in the 7s. He is running a special-built Kenny Duttweiler 207ci TT stageII. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David K Posted June 27, 2003 Share Posted June 27, 2003 Would the tires slipping result in a lower power result on the dyno? If so, can anyone make a guess to how much he lost when those tires let go. Awesome vid Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TimZ Posted June 27, 2003 Share Posted June 27, 2003 Would the tires slipping result in a lower power result on the dyno? If so, can anyone make a guess to how much he lost when those tires let go. Awesome vid Can't make a guess on the loss (depends on the slip ratio), but yes it would result in a lower reading. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jasonfen Posted June 27, 2003 Share Posted June 27, 2003 Not a Z, but scary fast. Plus it's an old model. I'm sure the power to weight ratio is silly. http://www.nonethewiser.net/542c2/Video/Run3.mpg http://www.nonethewiser.net/542c2/Video/Run4.mpg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest bastaad525 Posted June 27, 2003 Share Posted June 27, 2003 Reminds me of an auction I saw on ebay, this guy had a corvette, I think the same body as that one, with TWO superchargers on it. The guy claimed it was putting down some 1500hp to the wheels. He'd put over $100,000 into it and was selling it for like $30 or $50k, said after it was all done he found that he didn't fit very well in the car, he was a big guy. He was worried that, due to the way he had to sit in the car, he could very easily nudge his leg, enough to blip the throttle, and he said in that car a blip of the throttle could get you killed..... I wonder how guys like that even drive these cars on the street at all, you'd have to pull your foot comepletely off the throttle every time you even get near a bump, dip, or pothole...... notice, too, that he's dynoing that vette in 5th gear...... dont see that much.

Guest ON3GO Posted June 27, 2003 Share Posted June 27, 2003 no that was a different style vette... it was a black 73 to like 82 style vette. was sick Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest JAMIE T Posted June 28, 2003 Share Posted June 28, 2003 Nice, BUT, How cool would a 240Z be with that motor . I like the turbo's through the hood. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest bastaad525 Posted June 28, 2003 Share Posted June 28, 2003 only cool to look at..... I cant imagine a car like that being fun to drive, come on.... 1000+ hp?? What on earth would you do with that?? It would be so hard to control, even moreso in a 2200-2300 240...... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
