Nasty Swap

1100whp and 1/2 the weight of a GTR...

 

…and directed into the engine by the Trust larger capacity intake manifold. If by now your are wondering what the point of all of this is, well there is a reason this 180SX chassis needs the 1100 or so horsepower it is currently running. In a few months this car will be driven by Ueta around the famous Nardó high speed ring in the south of Italy where it will be attempting to get as close as possible to the 400 km/h mark (248.5 mph).

Sure it could look better, but that's some serious function > form, given the goal of the current setup. I just love the look of a top mounted twin turbo setup though.

 

Reminds me of this "situation" posted up on Audizine right now:

:lolguy: trying to get to 250mph in a car that looks like it's never been within 10 miles of a wind tunnel :dumb:

 

 

Cool concept though, I just hope the final execution looks a bit better than that. Plus, if you're truly going for top speed, why even have the 2nd seat in there?

 

EDIT: LMFAO I sure hope he's planning on upgrading the brakes before he tries for 250mph
