How bout a 346ci TT LS1 pulling down a 1 liter bike? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4UlG6loPvW8 That video is old as dirt. An old setup based off the old Incon TT system. He took the factory crank to over 800RWHP. It was reliable, and proven.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oKKQBAAdwmE Just a little 8 second street car. There's your answer.

Again, I respect all types of cars. Unless they are FWD lol! Your Camaro is different, and fast. But there are plenty of rediculous V8 street cars out there, reliable and proven.

Wasn't ****ting on you or the car, my point was your figures are a little modest IMO.
The T/A did beat that bike but barely compared to how that 2JZ laid it down on that Hyabusa. But it deserves attention that it did. But that 8 Sec T/A Street Legal car, I don't believe that one. Its not even timed at the track. There is no proof it ran 8 secs. Maybe you have another video of this car.

2JZ with modest figures? I really don't think you know anything about these cars. I can understand your frustration with our project, but no worries a twin turbo V8 is in the pipes.

The car in those videos, is the same car. The first video is from 2001, possibly older.

The second is the cars current state, and I can gaurantee you it runs those numbers. 4 years ago the car was running 8.29s at 171.

I actually think the car is pretty cool. I just know there are plenty of cars that would lay a whooping on it. You posted 642rwhp. With more left in it of course. To me, those numbers aren't anything to scoff at. But I know they aren't rolling out on 90% of the V8 cars out there.

Whoa! Are you seriously saying that this car can't hang with 90% of V8's out there?? If so, I don't know what planet you're living on...

Definately unique. I didn't see any rwtq numbers though. Have you ran it in a 1/4 mi? 1st gen Camaros weren't exactly light.

No, I'm saying it can't beat 90% of them as he posted.

I really like it. Would you mind providing additional specifications on the motor? I was wondering what size turbo you are running, and if you are running an AEM EMS to tune it. Thanks, and keep up the good work on an original idea. It's nice to see people from time to time going against conventional wisdom.

I am a mechanical engineering student (6 semesters down and 2 to go). I can vouch that an inline 6 is what I would consider the perfect layout. I consider a V-12 to be the same since it is just two I-6's.

The engine is perfectly balanced. There is no need for a damper therefore you have no energy lost. There are three main types of energy lose: heat, sound, and vibration (I know that sound is vibration). The i-6 layout eliminates almost all energy lost to vibration of the crankshaft, pistons, and connecting rods.

Great job on the conversion.

while i enjoy the concept of this car and the hard work put into the build. Its been touring the show circuit for almost a year it seems like and its just now hitting the dyno? It doesn't pull hard in the videos whatsoever. Get some track times.

Just seems shady that this car sits around dormant for so long with no performance figures.

Who are you? Your very first post is this? You seem shady. Its already been mentioned how much it dynoes. Maybe you missed that.
