Enjoy all the updates as we post them and fasten your seatbelts for one hell of a ride!

Are we talking about building a car or sending a man to Mars?

Pioneers or not, it will be a pretty impressive feat to pull 1000whp out of a VHR. It's not like this is a bulletproof Ford 5.4L where 1000whp isn't too hard to achieve.

But best platform? Yeah, right. The 370Z is good but there are plenty of other platforms out there that can do the same or better.

Well, it's been done already, so we know it's capable.

G37Sam · 06-21-2010, 08:12 AM

^ On the VQ37?

bullitt5897 · 06-21-2010, 08:18 AM

No VHR motor to my knowledge has been to 1000rwhp...

Spearfish: when I told my family what I was doing that was the exact response i got!!! They still make jokes about it.

Mustang: my point was about pride in our brand and no this isnt the cheapest car to get to this goal but all around when considering the handling capabilities its much better than any mustang, camaro or whatever model car in our price bracket to do this.

You're right. I missed read a magazine.

bullitt5897 · 06-21-2010, 09:40 AM

Its all good Lou!

I know an HR has made it but the real task at hand is to see how the VVEL holds up in these instances and how well it can be tuned to help make MOAR power

G37Sam · 06-21-2010, 09:48 AM

Bullit you think you would be able to throw a wheelie with 1000whp and drag radials?

FuszNissan · 06-21-2010, 09:54 AM

^^ That would be sweet!

Kastley85891 · 06-21-2010, 09:54 AM

^ think so , maybe some chassis twist off the line ;-0

bullitt5897 · 06-21-2010, 09:58 AM

hahahahaha!!!! Maybe I should just do a backflip and then beat the other guy down the track

FuszNissan · 06-21-2010, 10:13 AM

I would just race him in reverse.

bullitt5897 · 06-21-2010, 10:33 AM

hahahaha that is just sooo WRONG! XKR on my350 uses that excuse every time someone challenges his 1000hp G35 to a race LMAO!

JB-370z · 06-21-2010, 11:10 AM

Are you going to be able to retain the stock strut bar with the GTR manifold???

bullitt5897 · 06-21-2010, 11:17 AM

We will see... That is a great question for Sam! I want a custom one anyway so we will see
