Project Xr6t (update)

The old power calc says to me that you'll need 810hp to run 133mph & crack the 9 you are gunning for

Scotty Sorry but I must correct you.

The record at 10.96 @ 126mph set by C&V in Feb O4 was achieved with 390rwkw!!!!!!!!!

Do not take hp figuers so seriously as they are not the alfa and the omega of a quick time.

So what you are saying is that they went 126mph & ran a 10.98 with about 530 rearwheel horsepower, so where is the connection to my proposal .

I'm imagining that you'll be making about 200 more than them & will be able to pick up 7mph without too much drama

Anyhows, the speed calculators are pretty accurate, we'll see.

No disrespect intended.

Scotty

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

I will make it more understandable.

4050 pounds

1100 horsepower flywheel that is.

80hp nos

28.5 inch slick

6970rpm over the line.

With 3.73 diff ratio

Equates to 155mph as a perfect run!

9.216ET

No 136mph scotty that's a 10 and only will ever be 10.

Again I state no dis-respect intended.

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

Well a 9.2 isn't exactly what I had in mind when I said a 9, but O well I'll be more than happy to see you running 155mph.

Scotty

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

Please do not take me the wrong way Scotty

This is not my intention!

And would like you to be there when I try K'

Regards

Dear Scotty

To understand how serious we are about this car I will tell you the following.

I had an aguarment with C&V today because I wanted to run it at the street meat tonight at WSID and run a mid 10 hopefully!

The issue was not iff the car would achieve this as the dispute was with the only people that have ever run a 10.

The issue was the car was not built for 10. It was built for 9. So I was outnumbered and displayed patients with there and our goals.

Mind you I am a very impatient person so it was not easy!

Please respect this!!!!

So, you are saying you werent allowed to run it because it would only have run a 10?

[geea]

Sounds like it's all coming together Spiro, I'm looking forward to hearing about your exploits when its finished.

Geea.

that's write Luke

Itt was like Was like dessert storm this afternooon at C&V even when I mentioned it.!

You can imagine my frustration!!!!!!!!!!

I want to give you guys more than talk and dyno sheets!!!!!

[bcl]

Guys,

Spiro's car has been in development twice the time that mine has, and for his patience alone he deserves to be rewarded.

A 9 should be enough!

The other thing to remember is that he has a lot of experience at drag racing, and knows what he's doing, and has done the calculations.

He has the backing of C&V, who are also very experienced at drag racing.

As long as the box, drivetrain and motor hang together he should do it.

Good luck.

Spiro,

Let us know when you're going to WSID for the run. I'd love to be there to see it!!!

Spiro,

Spiro and Brian and others should do a tour of all the tracks, starting at Calder
