MUST SEE!! Twin Turbo Ford GT >1000hp!!

[=V8 Power=]

This is quite possibly the most wicked car I have ever seen...

yep cool vid, awesome gt, scary on the strip with zero grip but with the right tyres i'd expect it will do low 9s, dont think it looks as quick as my buddys supra but still what a mad ford, clarkson should have his turbo'ed and give it to the stig, let us know if you see the next bit with the hayabusa race V8, should be interesting

 

[ferrari_chris]

Damn fast!

Some fancy driving there too to keep it off the wall - I thought it was wrecked for sure...

 

[danda]

id say that was more luck than skill from the look of it, when you see the clip at the beginning of it on the strip i thought he was in the wall for sure haha live to race another day

 

[Bram Turismo]

Yes, and the thing they said about the Supra there...WTF?! They clearly haven't met a serious single turbo Supra It would blow this Fordy away.


And BTW, I think this video might fit better in the Videos & Photos thread 👍

 

[The Vanishing Boy]

-> It was a cool vid, but the dude with GTTT aims a little bit too high there, a turbo 'Busa? I think thats pushing it. That guy in a GTTT must race with REAL Supra's (not those weak-sauce Supra's on the vid), the ones with 900-1,200hp, and those twin-turbo Viper's with 1,000-1,500hp before he faces those monster crotch riders.

and it's already been posted

my mates is twin turbo but there we go

Joe lives in my city. I've seen him driving around before.

That video is old...its now making upwards of 1500hp with nitrous. So I doubt it would "blow" the Ford away.

 

[Omnis]

This: > That.

 

[=V8 Power=]

That is pretty cool. Gotta love GNXs.

However its not faster than the GT. The GT makes more horsepower. Also I know that GNX can't run 240mph as the GT can.

 

[Jay]

Too bad they didn't make 1500hp without the nitrous.

That video shows how unstable the GT can be with that power and wheelspin,

It starts wheelspining and stepping out sideways, the driver jumps off the throttle (you can hear the blow off) and now with all that rear weight shifted forward the rear end wants to swing around. Looks like they need to be careful with that car.

 

[CDailey]

Joe is loaded. I'm sure he can afford another Ford GT if he crashes that one.

Did the GT Burn out on the dyno?

 

[CDailey]

At the very end of the GNX video you see a shot of the dyno readout and it says "Max Power 1076.7."

I'm willing to bet the tires were hanging off the rollers and rubbing on the surface next to them causing the smoke. A 900HP Skyline (exvitermini) can jump off the dyno/spin the tires faster than the rollers will move as well. All cars have very respectable power outputs.

 

[YSSMAN]

...Yet another case in which having all the power in the world means absolutely nothing when you can't put it too good use. Case in point, this GT, and in many other circumstances, things such as the Hot Rod Solstice or the old Lingenfelter 850 Turbo.

 

[Tornado]

Or even the most famous example, the Shelby Cobra 427. And I'd take that GNX over the GT in a heartbeat.

It was a 900kw Skyline, actually... Which is 12xxhp, give or take a few.

 

[CDailey]

Close enough.

 

[Bram Turismo]

Yes, it would. If a GT can make that kind of power, a Supra can as well.

 

[Danny]

Why has no-one put 1000hp into a front wheel drive car?

 

[Leonidae]

yeah, but somehow I think that Ford GT's engine might last longer than Supra's..

 

[kikie]

Toyota is supposed to be better than Ford, that's what I heard.

 

[Danny]

That seems rather general Chris...

 

[Bram Turismo]

What's the point of doing that Danny? Putting your foot down would only burn up tires, even the softest slicks would not last long.

Toyota is supposed to be better than Ford, that's what I heard.

Yes, they still are...

yeah, but somehow I think that Ford GT's engine might last longer than Supra's..

You somehow think? What makes you think Ford would last longer then a Toyota engine? That would be the first case since their existence...

 

[=V8 Power=]

LoL...no

In that video they made 1012 hp on STOCK engine internals and fuel system. Try making that power with stock parts on a Supra and see what happens. I know they can go to about 700 with stock fuel supply but thats it.

 

[Bram Turismo]

Do you have evidence that's impossible? The 2JZ-GTE isn't for nothing one of the best engines around here these days...

Oh and since when did you changed your subject on my question? How much HP you can make out of a "STOCK" engine is only worse for the reliability, as we all know, the V's may provide rediculous amounts of power and torque, their reliability is as worse as a Lada...

 

[danda]

nobody has mentioned yet that the 2jz is a 3.0 straight 6 whereas the gnx is a 3.8 V6 and the ford GT even bigger with a 5.4 V8, and everyone knows the bigger the displacement the more potential an engine has for making big power and generally more reliable too, even so the little 2jz manages 6-700hp with its own internals and fueling etc and ive never seen any blow up at santa pod and i done rememeber any of my mates supras having any major problems, so it seems to me that they are pretty reliable too

 

[Jay]

for making big power and generally more reliable too

Well high power reliability is usually credited to the engine design, configuration and tolerences.

For examaple, open up the bottom end of a Nissan RB26 engine and take the look at the difference between it and a run of the mill 350 Chev bottom end (later run of the mill gen III Chev engines have improved). You will see much more journal support, some with oil squirter to cool pistons, thicker webbing and very tight tolences (All RB turbo engines bearings/pistons are graded individually), these engines were crafted by Nissan for endurance racing and with the very smooth I6 design keep the engine very reliable for a fairly small engine with big power.

The 2JZ is much the same, so they can run big power reliably on standard internals, while I could go get a standard rough run of the mill larger engine and plop a big turbo on it and it would explode quickly even with the correct fuelling and tune. Many engines can make larger peak numbers but don't expect them to keep it up. Displacement and more cylinders help but the engine really needs to be designed correctly in the first place, some are, some arn't, displacement alone is not a indicator on how much power the engine can cope with.
