I don't know, a lot less weight, and a lot of available power (revs wise).
Skyline will launch better, but it'll be close 50-150. Skyline will top end over 1 mile. Even Ronnies Skybird only manages about 202mph over 1.25 miles.

That turbo spools up a lot earlier than I'd expected.

Peak figure seen on screen as it failed was 793bhp and 675lbft, but they dont have a graph for that run.
Coming apart tomorrow, but obviously no timescale for where they go from here, as they dont yet know what else may have happened besides the gasket.

Aye, was back in 04 TOTB i think.
Lemon has done some mental times in Japan, but i've not seen it do below 11 in this county on the 1/4, but, I haven't seen it for a long time so no real basis as it may be much much quicker now.
All depends on the day though, driver, and which engine holds together

i would have thought the power would come in a lot later on too.. for such a big turbo it spools up pretty early..
fantastic
but reading through that post on GTR.. sound like the Lemon may win. Although the chap who owns it is saying that the car is setup with a dry sump, larger twin turbos and gas....
but will do run without gas to make it a fair run.. then at end of day will run it on gas to to show what it can do ....
fantastic stuff !
