Apparently people put LS-1's in Volvo, and then cram two turbos on top for good measure. I think I found my next project.

what is scary is how stable it looked.

DrKillJoY

I agree it's impressive.. but those guys are stupid... "performed on enclosed road" they are full of ****. a blowout at those speeds and that could be a 2 ton brick thrown into oncoming traffic acrross that median.

Fumi

wow chris i thought you had peeped that jazz already.
and you most def should do it.

dvs71990

Ogre

those were kilometers. LAAAAAAAMMMME!!! lol

Somehow I doubt a R1 in 6th gear is going to top out at 181kmh...

it just looks fake look how slow the bridge aproaches. and passing trees . i think thats toping out 3rd gear with the gear light rigged. ive done 150 and things move really fast at that speed.

if that is in kmh, it is stagged, becuase i have a '04 r1 and i easly hit 180mph.. thats not even topping out.

You mean like me and many other people here on this forum?

I'm sorry, but what motor is your FD on? and how many miles are on the chassis?

13bpower

I have to agree that it is very strange the R1 was topping out at 190 kph. I've seen over 170 mph in my 636. Something is staged in that clip.

FearNoPiston

Since I got the car I put had a motor put in and did reliability mods and have been problem free for 9k and counting daily drivin. 13brew and the chassis has 80 on it.

I didnt mean to start a rotary vs. piston thread or to offend anyone I merely saw an invitation to a wagon haters thread and jumped in.

HMMMM... my t-5 wagon had a motor put in too! at the factory... now its at 244k... and running 14's.... So i guess reliability is objective... LOL

And im not trying to continue a rotary vs piston debate.... I own both and love em dearly. But i think its safe to assume that- more often then not, a boosted wankel aint getting to 244k.

On to other topics.. wagon? ugly? i guess thats an objective argument as well. But i assume that some opinions are based on a feeling of shame, shame that they got handed their lunch by a family car... tim? am i right?
