think its time to give it up. its an amazing bit of enginering but ive only ever seen it do one good sprint to 60, the rest either snapped a shaft or missing gears etc. they were working on it constantly to run a 14 sec quater

yer i was gonna say it was quite slow yesterday seen plenty of other novas that went on were only a bit slower than it, so that sounds bout right if only 1 of em was running.

possibly the most unrealible car i think i have ever seen .. seems to go well when in gear when both engines are on the go but i would imagine its a fvcker to drive begine as they always seem to be strugling with gears etc

Was speaking to someone on the Regal stand on sunday. Apparently it was running just under 1000bhp combined  But they removed the front engine as it went pop. So on sunday it was just running the rear engine.

I will show my arse on the town hall steps if its anywhere near 1000bhp
Still on the standard KKK setup just hybrid.
I would say AT MOST 350 per engine for 700bhp......

Thats not that impressive considering a N/A 2.0 16v Corsa did 11.7... and that's only with one engine!
Should be aiming for mid 10's...

It must be unbelievably heavy too. It's made entirely of 80mm box section and thick steel plate.

Thats just retared if thats actually true. Did hear everyone an their mum say this at the weekend but I refuse to believe it. Also I wont be anywhere near 1000bhp as said earlier as i watched them take the engine out at about 1am and it was still on standard turbo.

So the bog standard engine up front is the one that let go and had to be removed and the 500bhp one was fine.......
........mmmmm me thinks your talking out your 4rse 
Both engines are modified and the ecu's are actually linked to try and get them to perform the same.
