bad ass. rough translation of what is in the car—
Engine: 540 “Donovan aluminum block with Dart heads. 4.50” boring and 4.25 "stroke. Cailles, Oliver rods, JE pistons. Custom Cam, Jesel 1.7 shaft tilt. Autronic ecu and MSD ignition. Smurning Dry Sump with remote reservoir . Procharger compressor type large, handmade intake and exhaust manifolds.
tranny is a zf 6 speed. ford 9 inch rear, bilstein suspension, 50/50 weight at 1/2 tank. makes a tick over 1400ps-- and i forget what that translates to in sae hp.

> tranny is a zf 6 speed
thats suprising. I always heard those trannies are hard to fit in these cars and thats why T56 is a popular swap. Plus i didnt think you could make those trannies that strong.
252 mph is fast but i thought the veyron was good to 254 and the CCX is even faster?

ZF 6 speed is so much larger than the T56. I’m sure with al the work done to the car, modifying the driveshaft tunnel wasnt that big of a deal. The ZF is actually a pretty strong transmission.

veyron and ccx’s speeds weren’t official because they used their own equipment.

i’d rather have the veyron, even though it’s a mph slower 😃
