16-12-10, 17:35 GMT+10#41 I'm only going off of the weight quoted in the street Commodores article. If it doesn't weigh that any more or if it weighs more it will clearly affect the number. Either way, it's f***ing fast.

Yeah that's fair enough and I know that there are many variables involved, on one of the rotorg33k video's of the private test and tune the car with driver was on the weigh bridge and it came in at the weight that was quoted in the article.
I was just wondering roughly what power the car made, I knew it was a $.h.it load of power just wanted a rough figure to associate the car with for the time being, however the fact that there is plenty more to come means there are very exciting times ahead and power will inevitably increase!!

16-12-10, 21:56 GMT+10#44 the car would be making around the 1500rwhp.. i think he only raced it with that power once cause the car went balistic on the 10.5w tyre and nearly killed him so bigger tyre and power back up

No doubt the dyno can/has/will show that Julian, but 188 and 2710 doesn't match that power. I can't wait till we see the true potential of this car/combo.

yea fair call.. but i think the wheel spin + revving out before the traps restricted the 188mph

Plenty, mate. The awesome SOHC Maatouks street car, FLY383, wild supercharged VE GTS, a slick VH SL/E, neat street 383ci VR SS.
It's an epic issue!

I'd say with the chasis rails still in tact, the radiator support and the working front lights and loom, this would all weigh up and add the extra weight to the car.
The car may even have distribution weight plates in it to help sort and adjust the chasis in it but I don't want to be starting rumours so i'm not to sure if this is the case.
Either way, given it is a little on the heavy side, he can use it to his advantage when he ups the ante.

Have you seen the bar work it's got inside. It's got more than any other drag race car I've seen.
