Re: One very sick GTA, I love it!
Just the specs on the car/engine etc.
The car's in Norway, IIR the country C, so good luck finding an interpreter. I have a friend who could, but it's all just specs, nothing more so...

Re: One very sick GTA, I love it!
Interesting videos - that car has too much power to be useful and it is obviously too heavy at 2000kg (4400lbs).
Finesse, not pure power is probably the best solution....

Re: One very sick GTA, I love it!
When that car was entered in the Silver State Classic, hecame in 2nd. Because it is an AVERAGE OVERALL SPEED race, not top speed.
Finesse is right.

Re: One very sick GTA, I love it!
If it does in fact have a5th gear than he is running a gear vendors OD which bolts up to the TH400/4L80E.
222mph on an unlimited course isn't all that impressive with about 900hp (or more). Then again tires don't hold together very long in a 4000lb+ car at 245mph.... EE boom

Re: One very sick GTA, I love it!
All of the safety equipment adds to the weight as well.
Also, weight is good when running at high speeds, keeps the car planted.

Re: One very sick GTA, I love it!
Regardless of whatever weight or hp that caris running - you gotta give them credit for coming up with that beast - particularly given the difficulty of getting parts for a 3rd gen in Europe.

Re: One very sick GTA, I love it!
There was a similar looking GTA, but V6 with Turbo, venting in the same area via a round tube... I like how this guy shaped it to the body...
Don't recall the v6 hp, but smoking tires aint going faster...

Re: One very sick GTA, I love it!
There are videos showing the underside of the car and engine. I think it was an TV interview.
4400lbs is heavy, but is better being heavy for high speed rather than having downforce by a wing.
