I want to see the hole-shot....

 

I dont think any of them broke 1000awhp... The closest one was AMS evovlll. It made 962.

 

Amazing how a 2.0 can do and it's AWD

 

No, what's amazing is how a 13b- 1.3 liter can put out over 1000hp! Now that's amazing!

 

ladies... in the 80's F1 turbo era there were many 1.5 - 2.0 liter engines that were making over 1200 whp.

so suck it!
we are behind!!

 

i think they made more than that...

dont forget they were running much diff fuels.. such as torlune (sp?) and these 1.5L engines were spinning alot higher than most rx7's and the evo's are

 

there ya go

 

Someone show me a 13b with over 1000 horses...

 

the F1 turbo era engines made 1200 to 1400 whp during qualifying only. Boost was decreased for the race making thew engines have 700-1000 whp and yes those things did 14-16,000 rpms. *drools thinking about it*

 

+1

I think the highest one ive seen is around 800.

 

ams evo broke to the 1000whp barrier a long time ago. they're silver evo has 1041awhp.

Wow they must have a change diffs/trannies after every run down the drag.

 

the ecotec 2.2 liter drag engines are making 1500 whp. not that big a deal.

 

Lets remember that these motors are more newly developed with more r&d behind them than our older rotaries today. Wankels can still hold their own these days against this newr tech motors. Like in Speed GT/ST. Until they can win big races/championships in other types of motorsports like say 24 hour Lemans or IMSA which Mazda DOMINATED in the 80's or the old Mickey Thompson off road series. Big deal. Anybody can make horsepower, but who can win championships? Rotaries either get banned or penalized. nuff said.

 

I don't know, evo's are cleaning it up for the time attacks. course, that is just the fastest single lap, and not an actual endurance race, but still. also, evo's are very capable rally race cars, and have been for years.

 

They're AWD cars ...umm advantage.

 

I know, but they "have" been winning races, just not the big ones. I still say the fd is better though.

 

I've got that mag sitting on my table, but I haven't read it yet. My dad said that they all broke during testing with the exception of one, which broke on the drive home.

 

IMO, if it makes massive power and is reliable enough (not breaking parts every few times) then it has reached BADASS status. the fact that they broke after the magazine shoot proves that these drivetrains are still in developmental stages in the aftermarket.

Unless you've got money to spend for trannys that cost in excess of a few thousand dollars, differentials in the thousands, and engines in the tens of thousands. you wont be able to be called badass, its just called an "Ongoing Project"
