The sight and sound of pure adrenaline

[centermass]

Sometimes in life there's nothing like letting loose on the range with a few hundred rounds, enjoying a steak on the grill with your buds and some cold beverages, midnight fishing on a full moon nght with your favorite gal and then there's the sound of horsepower.

One of the best cars I've ever owned was a 95 Impala SS. This one is a 96. Quite possibly one of the sexiest 4 doors ever built.

Turn up your speakers and wait for this one to load. If this don't make your pecker hard, you just don't know what life is all about:

Sounds like a Nitros button was hit at the end. I have an LT1 in my firebird and that engine rocks

I agree with you that those are some of the sweetest cars out there Bro. 735hp is insane. Thinking about the fact that he is running that without bottles is something else. A lot of good engine work and a lot of money has gone into that car.

i got a woodie.

it was almost as good as the precussion from the detionation of the javalins yesterday.



though i think i have you topped as far as insane power. ever heard of the boss hoss? car motor in a motorcycle?
did some looking into them awhile back and found one that had 1200 horsepower (yes that was with nitro) delivered to one wheel. i will attempt to find it again when i return. that is just stupid power. i imagine that if you twist the throtle to hard you might just flop the bike on its side with the tourqe.

I saw an expose on Boss Hoss bikes when I was down in Fl recently on a local TV show called born to ride. They're making 4 combinations of these things- 2 BB 502's-1 bike and 1 trike and 2 SB 350's-1 bike and 1 trike.

Stability on a trike based platform is obvious but surprisingly, on the 2 wheel frames, they appear relatively stable. I don't know if anything will ever compare to Chryslers Tomohawk. Viper engine on a motorcycle based platform? That's insane as well.

Getting back to the dyno, after researching the project car a little deeper, it was LT-1 stroker SB (smallblock, not Silverback :D ) punched to 396 ci. And keep in mind, the 735 HP recorded was to the rear wheels. Factor in the flywheel, trans, driveshaft and differential soaking up the rest and your looking at engine HP somewhere around the 770-800 mark.

Not sure if it was Nitrous'd or not. Probably was on the bottle. Still, not bad for a small block mouse engine.

Ok........Ok........I have to admit.............I fluffed up a little bit!

Woody!

It's been a long time since I heard something like that.

If it was 735 at the rear wheels,
it would have been well over 800 at the flywheel.
Automatic cars typically lose 20% between the flywheel and the wheels...Manual cars about 18%.
