Sweet baby jeesus, I just saw the video, watched it like 4 times... my jaw is still gaping open like a cheap vegas hooker... hmmm maybe this will change my mind about purchasing a different car next year.

I really thought the sarcasm would be obvious. No, you will not lose 150whp worth of potential if you run pump gas rather than E85. Most people running pump gas K04s with full bolt ons dyno between 300 and 310 on our dyno. 425whp would be pushing the 6758 less than 310 from the K04.
I said 60-125, not 60-130. Of course the last 5mph would be the slowest acelleration as well. That would mean that 60-130 is in the area of 6 seconds, which is slower than you have listed for the Veyron. This makes sense, because I'm sure that car would outperform the Cobalt at speeds past 120mph. At some point, I am acellerating quicker, because we trap close to the same mph even though I am not on high boost until the top of 2nd gear. Of course this is earlier Veyrons that trap around 137, not a later version or super sport.
On another note, did anyone ever notice that the Veyron motor has the same bore and stroke as the LSJ and LNF?

X2 want to see stock motor with regular pump gas. If I can get 430-450 whp with no meth on 91 octane, I'm sold.
I know that's why I'm so anxious!!! Either this EFR or I trade for a 335 before my warranty runs out!

I'd be more worried about traction in a sky, can you imagine spinning the rear wheels like that? Its so much easier controlling that power on a fwd car than a rwd one.

i am saving to put an entire soltice or sky driveline setup into a austin mini and i will most definately run this new efr lol all i need to do is find a totaled sky redline or soltice gxp with a good driveline and rear suspension. like maybe hit in the front with a smashed radiator and broken charge pipes. i want everything else like ecu and all that jazz. gonna be beast cant wait
The weight distribution of a rear drive car helps the traction. It wont sping like that.

The lsx is a race motor basically your are correct the LSX has forged pistons and everything... It has a cast iron block as well, not sure if you were aware of that or not. That would make it a little heavier but the benefits for a boosted motor would more than outweigh the negatives.
I am in for a ls3 vette for pure cost. The cost to turbo a ls7 is higher and let alone the price of the car. I still get the hook up through the dealer i worked at so i can get an 08 ls3 for about 30,000 maybe even less by now. Anyway back on track for the thread.
