Monty has the fastest car on the board. If someone here has a faster car I'll eat one of my old iron cylinder heads......and get it on video for all to see.

Ah Mark, I've been expecting you. :sillylol:


I believe that Guido's is legal,. Also, I believe he is still just sorting a few hick-ups out such as his intake tubes blowing off etc etc. He's still to get a dyno run with more than 5psi.

Monty hasn't been to the track as far as I knopw but he did do a run with a stopwatch on 1/4 mile stretch of road which came out at 10.9 seconds at about 160mph. The engine makes 916.1 lb/ft and 1151.2 bhp at 6600rpm. Not bad.

So, I believe that Monty is currently the fastest.

I had been wondering who had the fastest street legal car too. Any car can be made to go about as fast as you want, money permitting, but it takes skills in my opionion to have a car that is extremely fast and still legal and possibly pass an emissions test.


I wonder who has the fastest car here that can pass a CA emissions test?

Yes but Monty's motor went into a vet did it not? There are alot of guys on this board that are plenty fast that have N/A motors. And believe me I am one of the slowest!! But I will have a carbed 350 that should turn some heads!

I realize they didn't test Monty's 1/4 in the best way but it's still possible he could have traction problems, i mean how easy is it to get a street car to hook 916 lbs of torque and still turn?

The only real way to know is to get track times from it! How do you measure 160 on the street, a speedo?

You could mark off a known distance and time it....but theres no way in H*ll that car could run 160 MPH with that ET on the street or the track.....unless it was in a rail chassis or something other than a street legal platform....but even then if that car could, the numbers given would denote that the car is capable of MUCH faster ET's....like a 9.70.....

i dont think that 160 is with a 10.9.i would think that 1100 hp would get you there,ESPECIALLY a twin turbo motor.we're stupid amounts of mid-high end power in that car.and that 10.9 is prolly due to a weak launch to keep the *** end from swinging around the world on him.DAMN i would love to see and HEAR that car run down the strip.

Yes it did, but the question never stated tht it had to be a 3rd gen.


Also, I don't see how his trap time and et are bullsh1t.

Nothing has been said about his 'Trap time'. But even an estimate of 160 MPH....is just that. An Estimate. I agree, a twin squirrel'ed engine should MPH that fast, but the ET shows signs of a weak launch. On the street? PLEASE........ Save it.....good luck trying to hook that up on the marbles we drive on everyday. Also note that I stated the car would most likely be capable of an ET of 9.70 or better with that MPH.

I was unaware of the squirrel's on this power plant, so I will retract my speculation.

160 doesn't seem right for high 10s(way too fast), but a stop watch and a strip of road isn't exactly accurate. Personally my speedo can't keep up with how fast I'm accelerating. Maybe his is the opposite?

160 mph will take you into the mid 8's and yea that trap speed is believable providing his car is somewhere in the 3400 - 3500 lb. range and he is in fact making 1100 hp.

Maybe this one........

Looking through my logs I noticed you guys have been loyal visitors til my page lately so I thought I'd pay a visit.

I wrote an article on this car for a local car magazine this summer and yes, it's a door slammer that gets used every day. However that's not the full story, as it has a complete tube frame built in so that all susp mounts, engine mounts and such go into the tube frame. Makes for a pretty heavy car (1835kg drag ready with driver) but stock appearance is essential in car-hating Norway unfortiunately.

The owner, Paal Arvid Blytt, has built this car for a dead serious attack on the Silver State Classic in the unlimited class. He ran a rented Viper at an average of 159mph at the event back in 2000 in case you wondered if he's for real. He is very serious. Not only that, but he's spent the time and money to make a car that works and is really beginning to produce results at drag strips and race tracks here in Scandinavia.



Besides kicking very expensive and high profile *** at the drags, it's the ability to do the same at race-tracks that has really gotten attention over here. Everyone knows an amcar with a bigblock cant turn a corner, right? Well try to explain that to the barely street legal high profile racers that had a mirror full of T/A at "Gatebil" street legal track races this summer AWD turbo power isn't much help when you're not going any faster in the corners and arriving at the straights with a disadvantage of 300 or 400 hp... not surprisingly, the faster high profile cars refused to race.

I'll put up a spec sheet below. Since the shots were taken, he's added an Autronic SM2 ecu and a second staged NOS system jetted for apx 250hp. When run in conjunction with SM2 and traction control, one button controls both systems while SM2 controls one/two stage actuation. Neat

Ok, what you all want to know - yes the turbos do fit as everything was built with the engine in the car - and they are going into the car but Polly has decided that using the steel Brodix-head bigblock is off since he can develop suficcient power in the Donovan alu block and save a lot of weight. So lower comp pistons are going into that engine and turbos too. Turbos will be electronic wastegate controlled by SM2 so that the boost can be tailored to available traction - the existing solution was simply too brutal as there was wheelspin pretty much all the time. polly has calculated he needs about 1000 reliable hp in order to get the performance he needs in Nevada.

I've had a test ride - kindly declined a test drive as I'm used to about 1/10th of the power - but the car is so competently set up that even though the engine roars like thunder and the speedo indicated speeds in the several-years-in-prison range (welcome to Norway...) the cars doesn't feel "out-of-control" fast like a turbo fwd car does. It just feels like a rediculously fast car held back by other traffic - 120mph feels like an ambling run for groceries and even at full power theres no twitchiness or instability. Tho the Polly did admit that the nose gets light above 300km/h (190mph) so while the car pulled briskly he had to back off at 330.

Perhaps for you draggers out there this isnt that much out of the ordinary, but me I'm used to fast cars beling defined as an M3 or a chipped Audi S4... and in comparison it's mind alteringly fast!

Ok sorry for alle the text, it's hard not to get worked up a project like this in Norway where government is pretty much trying to snuff out anything that's noisy or fun.

If youre still reading, thanks

Nic,

I believe that the $30,000 covered pretty much everything. FAST TIMES did the turbo instalation.


gta324,

I've seen that car mentioned on the power adder board a couple of times. It's impressive. Also, nice web page you have there, and chance of doing a bi-lingual version?

Just a hint to all of those who don't know, if you ever come across a web site you can't read. Copy and paste the web site, or address into www.babblefish.com, it will do the translations for you, that is if you know what language it is.

Or you can just dowload a language package. I have a program that asks me if I want to convert a language to English on the Internet,

Its been awhile since I seen that one. At a top speed of over 200mph, it is definately one of the fastest street legal thirdgens.

Why is it that these ultra-high hp cars (like Monty's and the black Norweigan GTA) are only posting 10 sec quarter mile times.

Not that my car is anywhere near 10 seconds (!), but you'd think with hp in the quadruple digits, you'd be able to post better times.

BTW, that Norweigan car is definitely one of the baddest 3rd gens I've ever heard about.

I have a pretty fast street car. It's not a 3rd gen it's not even a camaro. It's a mustang it runs 8.60's 158-160mph. It could et alittle better but it hard to get it off the line it is either blowing the tires off or draggin the bumber. Oh an that is all out of a 310 inch motor with a Procharger and a hydr-roller cam.

Well

I have a customer/ friend I gave the option of building a budget car or an all out annilation car. The hp figures were 1141 at 5,800 RPm and 1,350 lb pounds of torque at 3,200. We are working on getting an extra 120 hp at this point out of her. What the best thing is, is that is is a street strip car. We actually had to regear her because we were afraid that we would run out of mph on the quater with the 4.10's.

<b>street car</b>

IT depends on the definition of that word. To me, a street car is a car that:
Has Excellent Throttle response
Gets good Fuel economy (15 MPG+ city)
May have a mild idle, but nothing that shakes the whole car at a light.
Doesnt shift or engage from a stoplight brutally
Has a moderately stock appeal to it. Cowl hoods are ok, but 15" Wide slicks on the back are not.
Doesnt have any "noticable" high horsepower modifications. e.g. 12 Pt. Roll cage, Gutted interior, Lexan instead of glass, super skinny front tires, etc...
Can keep the RPMS down around town. This means no 4000 Stall converters, and it usually means having an overdrive tranny.
Can keep the noise level down around town. This means no open headers. Cut-outs, however, are a perfectly good way of "masking" a drag-race ready exhaust.

This is my definition of a "street car" although some (many) people will disagree here and there, these are the guidelines I follow(ed) when I attempt to make a car fast yet streetable.

I beleive monty's 1200 horsepower car is only running 10's instead of 8's because he doesnt use slicks or a Trans-brake.he also doesnt hook up worth a damn till 160 MPH or somthing rediculous. If you dont hook up, I dont care how much power your engine makes, your not going to get the full potential out of your motor on the drag strip.

Well

It is powerband form 3,500- 7,000 (we could take it to 8500) and it is designed to bleed off compression at idle. Not to much of a rough idle.

if they did it on the street though wouldn't the trap be lower then 160


just saying that cause I know on my car when I went to the strip(last year) it said I ran a 85.x but I crossed the line at about 92-93 something mph


Quick Reply: fastest street car???
