Send a message via Yahoo to SSG-goat83
I would like to get a good guess, what top speed I am looking at with mine, for before I get home. my mods are listed. I have not yet come home from this lovely country of iraq or driven my car, it is at HPE in houston texs, getting the mods installed and tuned for before i get home. I would love to have someone here to give me an idea of what i should expect for HP and top speed.

Thankyou Sincerely to whoever has time to reply

All cars are advertized as BHP not wheel hp. Where did you come up with wheel hp for the Enzo and the F1? You have to insert a special key to put the Veyron into highspeed mode it reduces downforce and closes air extractors. More downforce equals more drag.

What kind of power do the Formula 1 cars make? I had heard 900 area, but that's just word of mouth.

220-230 is commonplace for them.

The owners that put them on the dyno One good example of this is vipers they put 600 ponies to the ground (SRT-10 ACR)

They run around 18,000RPM and 800 H.p. as of 2009 and also they have a lot of downforce and are uber light an avg man could pick the front of one up.

Are you shure those are stock cars? I just finished looking at the HPE 700R ACR and it put out 626whp. Dodge only claims 600hp, and the track times don't match to a 600whp car.

You have to check the track figures for the Enzo and the F1 they don't look like 600+whp car figures either. They look more like what a 600+bhp looks like expecally being under 3000lbs for both of them. I maybe wrong, it is what it is.
