I was in a 250-300 rwkw LH Torana and i nearly **** myself in that so you'd have to be on drugs to think that 600rwkw feels slow, new or old car.

Thread mining is where another member post on an old thread that has been sitting dormant for a few months thus bring the entire thread back up from the deep......

It's close to 1.34 .... just off the top of my head.
So 600rwkw multiplied by 1.34 = 804rwhp

Close enough for me.

Also as mentioned by JCXR in Post #32
I guess I should read the entire thread instead of skimming as well.

Thumbs up

:sm_headba

That's awesome!! Do you know what size rubber bands he was running out back? I'll be running 700-750hp at the fly in the 'Cuda once complete with a Keisler 5-Speed. I think it's around 550kws with the same amount of ft-lb. Though mine will be N/A in stock form. :hihi: Blown 1500hp is the stock build figure but I'll be damned if I'm going to run that on the street. Sounds like an awesome car indeed.


Cheers,
NZ

I must have stumbled across it when I was doing a search for something else and thought it was a new thread, I didn't realise, sorry fellas.

From the Urban dictionary:-

A post whore is somebody who posts mostly meaningless messages consisting of one word or just emoticons. They have an unsaid ability to magically appear in any thread at any given time to add crucial arguements to the debate at hand. These said crucial arguements include ground-breaking conjectures such as "what," "oh," or a curiously little smilie who is blue, and yet neither happy nor sad.

Basically some one who posts meaningless messages..... or just posts to increase their post count.....

I can only assume that it has a fully integrated roll cage or some other underbody chassis strengthening? Could you imagine the chassis flex created by the torque? Jesus, those VBs barely had the chassis strength to keep the body of the ground let alone to handle that sort of torque.

I do hope its a track only car and not used on the road...........
