Sounds a lot like what I have planned for the '79 Z28.

only differences would be
295 front, 345 rear
blown nitrous
and 1KRWHP
with a 6 (12) speed.

 

I want to go back to something in the first post, You sure it was a 117 that you were in?? they are none of these things, LOL

Looking forward to seeing pics of the project

 

Probably commenting on how they look? Because, have to admit they do look all those things, even if they actually aren't.

Any goals for the quartermile too?

 

Ya I know those planes arent tooo impressive perfomance wise....but they sure look WICKED!!! All those hard sharp edges make them look fast and agile......but ya you get the point.


Quarter mile.....I would be happy will 10's on street tires. Not really building it for the 1/4. I want raw performance on the track, and I want it to scare the F*** outta me when I hit the loud pedal.

If any of you watch Top Gear, and have seen their reviews on either the Countach, Zonda, or the Mclaren, you will know what I mean. Jeremy Clarkson and Tiff Needle drive those things and have lots of fun doing it, but I know they have got to be shakin when they get outta the cars.

I want that.

If I were you, I'd sick a good chunk of my concentration in designing and engineering first... with a low target weight in mind..

excellent chassis and suspension design + low weight(like 2000 lbs) Add in good aero's, and you'll proabably be able to exceed all your expectations with "mild" 500 HP 7.0L LS1.

If it was possible, I'd rather lose a 1000 lbs on my Camaro than have a 1000 hp.

 

Supercar with an automatic?............ Beef up the T56 and leave it. You wont be hooking with supercar tires or suspension anyway.

 

I haven't seen a McClaren under low 11s, the suspension just doesn't have it in it.

 

Dont see that happening without ridiculous money. www.fastassdatsun.com has a chance, that is his goal, but its still iffy. C4 front and rear suspension, around 600-650 HP last I heard was the intent, and full box frame with 2000 pound weight.

 

Yeah, and in building a supercar, yet its lightweight, but its still going to have all the ammenities. 3,000 pounds after roll cage and stereo would be a tremendous feat.

My best hope for mine was 3,250 pounds.

 

Yah.. but you can always dream..

For the rediculous money:
