Yeah... no.
Torque means nothing without revs, unless you just want to break things and smoke tires. |
Ignore the first 10 seconds. |

Never seen this before, thought it was pretty cool.
The end of this one is very interesting |
Radiators being inches away from the headers, looks legit.

I love this guy... GUARANTEED!!!

Dude shoulda ran double 13B turbo motors with 1 giant turbo powering both motors... would have been the first 6 rotor vehicle that sounds like a beast.

I wonder how much fuel those thirsty beasts consume, and is that fuel cell in the back big enough...
|
Is that a hardtop for another car, just installed backward?
|
I read somewhere it's made from two karmon ghia hardtops. looks slick to me. That would be a nice kit car with 1 engine.

IIRC those cars didn't use blowoff valves because of the loss of boost pressure. The factory race team didn't care about compressor surge shortening the life of the turbo when they could repair/replace every week. Probably pretty much has an open exhaust and a screamer wastegate dump as well.

6 rotor has been talked about before but never done AFAIK. Kind of like that V16 thing, I'm not sure what the point would be besides bragging rights. I would rather have a properly built LSX based engine than 2 iron block SBC's. ;) |
