Whoa - Serious poopie.

Don't listen to the negative comments...It's your ride, your $$ and time built it, who cares what others think.

Interesting - i had put 'Serious (ess) (h) (*) (tea) in that reply and back came "Serious poopie"

Just so everyone knows, I would never say 'serious poopie'. NEVER.

A couple of questions...

Hows the turbo lag?
Have you ever sprayed the nitrous?
Have you ever dynoed it? Graphs?
Have you ever been to the track?n Timeslips?
have you had any problems as of yet as a daily driver?
Why use 30 lbs. in a daily driver?
Why not go around 15 to keep it more streetable?
How much does it weigh?
And the last question... what instatution did you escape from because that thing is insane!
:cheers:

Hey, unless you borrowed the money to do it, I say go for it!!!!

Looks like a crazy project done by some folks with all the know how and the time and money to back it up!
:cheers: :cheers:

There is a little thing on the floor called a go pedal. It has many different positions, and if one practices enough, they can learn to control and enoy a poopie load of power. This guy may have trouble using all that power no matter how good a driver he is, but I'd like to give it a try! :smash: :smash:

Keep up the good work!!!!
:cheers:

IS there a dyno graph?

That car will never, and I mean never, hook up, on any street tire. 1500hp? That will spin the tires are 150mph.

I think you just answered the question, "Can you ever have enought horsepower?" That's such a cool car :yesnod: What size turbos does Lingenfelter use on their TTs? These are bigger right? The only thing I don't like is the lights, but other than that it's killer :cheers:

wow... tough crowd... little in the excess.. i would like to see dyno numbers and track times. I am assuming that the car is not going to be a show car, but a driver/ racer. If not.. then why do it...

WOW....DIY at it's best. I have had experience with T5/6 turbos. Just know that someday, someone is going to stuff a couple of 20g turbos under the hood of a c5!!! :cheers:
