Well Toyota did about 1000 HP for their 2.0l 4-cyl All-Trac Celica Pikes Peak record. I seem to remember BMW's F1 4-banger some years back was based (loosely) on the 320i engine and they were over 1000 on an engine dyno. No NOS...Just need turbos...and enough duct tape to make it stay in one piece. |

But what HAS happened to CA$H ? A bit of scandel won't go amiss in this thread and in some ways I miss him and would like to know the full story.

1000 hp
You know guys, talking about 700hp and 200mph on this or any petrolhead forum is a little like describing your Close Encounter to a bunch of Trekkies.
We all want to believe. Except of course the cynics and unwashed out there. In Japan, the likes of the Midnight Club actually do run 200 mph cars, and they build them using a combination of brute force and ignorance. By brute force I mean they spend big bucks uprating engines and drivetrains of cars like RX7s and Supras and Skylines. The ignorance bit is where they strip out the interiors and put on lightweight doors, glass, hoods etc, and replace with carbon fibre seats and so on, making the car uninhabitable for all but the most hearing-challenged dance music fans. When you look at how difficult it has been for the likes of Ferrari and Bugatti and so on to break the 200 mph barrier with seriously powerful and well engineered cars, it should be obvious that to achieve it with an SVX or any 140 mph car, there has to be a lot of real HP and serious compromise. Me, I am keeping my SVX stock, although lowering the final drive ratio looks tempting. I will wait a few years until a low mileage Ferrari 456 comes within my price range, then I will fly the coupe. Joe

We already know it's fake. The pic came from Dayle's site.
It's not going to happen. No SVX will ever surpass 200mph.
