Well, to go 0-60 in 1.67 seconds it’d be averaging 1.637 G’s over that 1.67 seconds. If the car weighs 2000 pounds the forward force would average 14.5kN. I wonder if my car can pull 0.67 G’s while turning… Sheesh…
vf = vi + at
60 mile/hour = 0 + a(1.67 seconds)
1/60 mile/sec = 1.67 seconds \* a
a = .00998 mile/sec/sec
a = 16.06 m/s^2
a = 1.637 G’s
2000 pounds = 907kg
F=mA
F=907 \* 16.06 = 14.5kN

kit car… if you can build a car better than a VEYRON maybe you could also get a digital SLR and learn how to take a picture and photoshop it?
blurry pictors = my car is likely faster

that engine doesnt belong in a 1/2 million $ car … its a joke
i mean jesus christ, the IC-\>TB pipes are a pair of u bends w/ a coupler in the middle … i put more effort into homemade turbo setups then they bothered with here

except that the distributor is in the REAR … and runs thru a hole in the intake … making it most likely a Chevy
being a kitcar would make it easy to register in the US, the most likely option being that its a complete car in multiple crates, final assembly is your responsibility
this allows it to TECHNICLY be a kitcar, but yet come complete at the same time

omg. That car doesnt even begin to compare to the veyron. That car goes fast. Thats it. The Veyron is pimptastic, the most exquisite interior ive ever seen.
The veyron is perfect in every regard. This car is a POS that goes fast.

I call BS on the 0-60 you could have 950 million horsepower but you would never get it to the ground.
An F1 car with all the worlds most advanced tire technology can only do 0-60 in the low to mid 2 second range. 1.67 seconds is complete bullshit on street tires.

thats what I was thinking, it doesnt matter how much power you have if you can’t hook up.

^^^ so does that mean that a top fuel dragster DOESNT get all 7000 hp to the ground in the reported 15/100’s of a second ?
the fact of the matter is that we DO have the technology to get ANY amount of hp to the ground … just not on street tires
f1 cars also have much less HP, and arent designed for stellar 0-60 times, regear an f1 car and it would do MUCH better on its 0-60

Not on street tires. Plus an F1 car weighs less and has more horsepower than this car. I seriously doubt that this car has tires capable of producing a 0-60 anywhere CLOSE to 1.67 seconds.
