I know these engines can reach 900-1000BHP because people use them in drag cars pushing close to 2000bhp down here IIRC
With that you would have a car that would be 1BHP per kilo?
I wonder how many extra pairs of undies i would need to drive that?:hmm:
BHP per kilo is directly proportionate to POU(Pairs Of Undies) per second under acceleration.Originally Posted by Zip
need to change em quicker than this to keep up
I hope they got mixed up between mph and kmph at the end of that video. It says the thing got up to 196kmph in 1000m. Last time I had my SW11 at the strip it trapped 189kmph which is at the end of 400m.
the video says it got an average of 196km/h over 1000m, top speed was 336km/h.
don't you understand swedish hehe
