Apparently a Twin-Busa'd Ultima - 1000bhp

Cluckin' bell!

That's a BIG turbo

Wow.
I'd love to see it going - I suspect the 4wd system could affect the handling. Still it is the sort of car you'd want for a 0-100-0 record attempt.
I'd reckong though you could get lighter than that using something other than an Ultima though, but then again not many cars have room for 2 'busas!
Mad as a box of frogs.

I have seen this a few times when I have been to see Chris at Z-Cars. The engineering on it is fantastic. He is building it for a guy from Spain who hadn't even seen it until a week or so ago and then only had half an hour there before flying back to Spain. Apparently the guy also has a Diablo so a full set of Diablo brakes have been fitted in place of the AP's. Going to take the day off work when Chris takes it out for it's first test - may even be able to blag a ride

Looks awesome ! I wonder what the weight difference is between a pair of Busa engines (92Kg each, plus turbo) and a twin turbo all alloy Corvette V8 ?

Power should be similar for both although it'll be more expensive I would guess to get a V8 to 900-1000 HP.
