JMortensen Posted March 31, 2006 Share Posted March 31, 2006 That's a little overdone for my tastes. It looks like race "art" that nobody would actually drive on the track. Maybe that's why it only has dyno time... I have been talking to my wife about converting an NPR to an enclosed tow vehicle for quite a while though, so that part was really interesting. I'm guessing that the way he modded that one would mean that the height of a Z wouldn't fit inside height wise. I know they make another model with a higher roofline, and that one almost looks channeled. Great idea regardless. 4 cyl turbo diesel made for hauling thousands of lbs, just basically got to make those long ramps easy to tear down and your in business.

wingnutthehutt Posted March 31, 2006 Share Posted March 31, 2006 I'd take the body off a put on a 240 body. I'm not a big fan of the early lotus bodies, esp when it's not real. But wow, that's a nice chassis. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AK-Z Posted April 1, 2006 Share Posted April 1, 2006 IF thats the later model super7, then it also hasa Hayabusa engine in it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kennysgreen280zt Posted April 1, 2006 Share Posted April 1, 2006 It has a cosworth BDP in it. Pretty freakin sweet if you ask me. I would drive it everywhere and hope I didnt get nailed by some girl in an SUV checking her makeup in my reflection! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2003z Posted April 1, 2006 Share Posted April 1, 2006 IF thats the later model super7, then it also hasa Hayabusa engine in it.says its got a cosworth engine. If I were to paint it, I would use a house of kolor candy over that beautiful polished body. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
silicone boy Posted April 1, 2006 Share Posted April 1, 2006 I've got a frame I made for one of those. I've also got a Hayabusa engine for it, but there's no way I'm gonna chrome it. If I ever get the time, maybe carbon fiber panels, but not chrome. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess they changed engines again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
silicone boy Posted April 1, 2006 Share Posted April 1, 2006 Some British firms are putting motorcycle engines in their Super 7 clones. In Fisher has a dual engined Fury! It's an all wheel drive and does 0-100 kph (close to 0-60 mph) in less than 3 seconds. For the autocross scene, the Hayabusa engine is the hot ticket. 190 hp at 12,000 rpm!

wingnutthehutt Posted April 1, 2006 Share Posted April 1, 2006 0-60 in less than three seconds sounds a little bit off to me. I have been in the powersports industry for seven years, and that sounds a bit off to me. The actual Hayabusa motorcycle does 0-60 in about 1.9 and weighs about 1000 pounds less. It also doesn't have 190 HP to the rear wheel. Maybe if you get a nice one from the factory you can get that at the crank, but it's usually closer to 170-175 at the crank. Just point out GFEs, not trying to be a nazi. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AK-Z Posted April 1, 2006 Share Posted April 1, 2006 Yeah that does seem off, but I wasn't sure. I know the Ariel Atom has a civic type r engine with 300 hp (supercharged) and the whole thing weighs about 1/2 a ton, and does a 0-60 in 2.9 sec. With that, the super 7 weighs almost the same. so super 7 (replica hayabusa): 170hp/500kg ariel atom (supercharged): 300hp/500kg. I don't know. I guess there could be things done to the tranny and/or the 12,000 rpm redline can have something to do with it. I'm bored and tired, but can't sleep. So feel free to correct me if I'm wrong.

zero Posted April 1, 2006 Share Posted April 1, 2006 I believe the car silicone boy was referring to is a dual motorcycle engined ( gsxr1000?) all wheel drive one and I remember reading about it competing in some 0-100-0 competition and stomping all over the competition, including setting some rediculous 0-60 time. The Engines were mounted inline and both transmissions were retained, somehow enabling the car to have 6 forward and 6 reverse gears.

silicone boy Posted April 1, 2006 Share Posted April 1, 2006 For the Fisher Fury, it's just what I read on the website. I wasn't sure if that was achievable. On the other hand, a Super 7 clone chassis weighs in at under 1000 pounds (minus engines and driver). Then consider that it has 2 engines--not quite sure how they pulled that off. I'll have to check their website, but it would be an interesting engineering feat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
silicone boy Posted April 1, 2006 Share Posted April 1, 2006 I was wrong on the company. It's not the Fisher Fury, but a Tiger http://www.tigerracing.com/cars/tiger-z100-main.php and the sick, sick picture Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
