Post #329,064 by folkert 7/4/10 10:06:54 AM Reply	I wonder if the 'Cuda could run it.... in something like 7:40... Seem there is enough Horsepower there... and the traction is there. The only thing its down on is aero. If they could limit the air getting into the engine bay more and fixup the cooling problems and smooth out the moldings on the front a bit... and put some body side moldings on it... I'd bet it could do it.

Besides the fluttering body panels and trim projectiles, that broken trackbar is a strong hint that the rest of the hardware doesn't match the motor. And the Nurnburgring requires brakes too. The video didn't even touch on those.
Post #329,077 by Another Scott 7/4/10 3:22:30 PM Reply	Reminds me a little of the Vector W2 Neat looking, impressive performance, but you'd expect that for 1000HP. But how can they make money with it? Supposedly they have 6000-7000 hours of work in it, meaning you could get an Enzo for the price if they hope to break even - http://www.dakota-du...read.php?t=103270 I assume it's a capability demonstrator, and not something they hope to make a living making. They have some beautiful cars, though - http://www.legendary.../currentinventory FWIW. Cheers, Scott.

Post #329,197 by folkert 7/6/10 7:57:59 PM Reply	Wasn't a restoration... Try a "resto-mod" The original 'Cuda never came with an 1100hp twin turbo 522 cu in small block and a 6 speed manual and completely re-engineered IRS and IFS with HUGE brakes and 345mm wide tires on the rear. Custom interior with additional rigidity built-in... and other things. 6000-7000 hours, not really that many hours for a complete build like this.
Post #329,098 by folkert 7/5/10 8:45:50 AM Reply	Re: Not if it keeps dropping parts From the looks of the car on their website, it appears those MEATY Tires (345s in the back) and those 19" rim hold 6 piston ceramic/carbon-fiber disc brake packages (front and rear) I think its a solid axle... also, meaning it won't win any G-Force contests... shucks.
Post #329,135 by scoenye 7/5/10 11:33:37 PM Reply	That would do it!
Post #329,148 by folkert 7/6/10 11:53:29 AM Reply	Actually... it has IRS... Independent Rear Suspension... I was looking at the wrong car. It might be able to do it.
