Please help me

Ok there is this guy i know and he keeps telling me that he has a 67 camaro that can go 245mph i bet him 100$ there is no way he does and i swear hes liein but i really dont know anything about cars. First he told me hes got a 454 big block in it and then he told me he has a supercharger with twin turbos and i dont even know if thats possiable.. I dont know anything else he has on it but i think hes full of it can someone please tell me if its even possiable for him to get that car to go that fast.. thanks

Techinically, I guess its possible. But I seriously doubt it. And twin turbos and a supercharger is possible too, but too much work involved and its not practical. Boost is boost.

There's a video on the net of the ultra-expensive Bugatti Veyron doing a top-speed run in Germany. It hit 245mph or so, but it is a 'quad-turbo W-16' motor with 1001hp (metric hp)and AWD. It explains the physics of it in the video, so this guy will basically need to be making 1001hp with incredible suspension and 6 miles+ worth of straight track.

Personally, I think he's full of shit.

yea he trys to tell me hes go about 1500hp and that it lifts the front end up when he floors it so i dont know i havent seen it just yet but im going to soon but i think hes just lien his ass off.

Here's that video of the Veyron.

And with the proper suspension setup and stuff, it doesn't take more than 600hp the lift the front end off the ground.

That Bugatti was wind tunnel designed, has THE most trick suspension made and has 1001 PROVEN horsepower and it hits 256 MPH.
So...in a NON areodynamic first gen with no special suspension...figure he'd need at least 1500 HP (and a heafty insurance policy) to get to 200-250... Your friend is so full of bullshit I can smell him from here.
Tell him its time to put up or shut up.

The fastest car ive ever seen in real life up close was a federal mogul dragster. it hit 255.39 MPH and ran the 1/4 mile in 5.48 seconds. You know when your around a car that is capable of that kind of speed...

I call bullshit!

245 in a street legal 67 maro???? Probably claims to be the next John Holmes too.

I'm with Morley... Ask him for the track slip and see how much he has to say.

Also a 572 big block alone costs around $13K. Not to mention a $3k -$5k transmission that'll take that kind of power, and what about the rear end... probably another $3k? And he's got a supercharged, twin turbo'd 454??? What's he, a Rockafellar? Or is he daddy's little bitch? Next time he talks that smack, and doesn't show you a track slip... knock his damned teeth out. (I HATE liars.)

sounds like a load of crap.

besides, if it has the claimed 1,500hp he's wasted money. twin turbos can get over 1,800hp when mated to a 454. and a supercharger can make the same. there's no real reason to twin charge it for drag racing.

besides, if it were real you would've seen it (or at least heard it) by now.

i bet his brother is his dad.....cross breading will make u think u have shit u really dont have...its in his brain lol....

wow.. the stories some come up with, To start we have a nitro funny car that weighs 2250 lbs, race ready. it runs a 500ci stage 15 KB hemi on 85% nitro making aprox 2500hp and it hasnt hit 245 MPH yet, so it major bs, kick him in the balls and tell him to get a life, there absolutely no way a car could ever be street legal and be capable of 245mph, not possible EVER!

a life, there absolutely no way a car could ever be street legal and be capable of 245mph, not possible EVER!

Not true, the Bugatti Veyron is street legal and can hit 245mph.

its possible to make enough power to do it, but i dont think you could legally run a big block with a mert 14-71 on it, ALSO you could never evere ever do it on reg gas, alcohol or nitro, AND youd be lucky to hit 200mph with a blown BBC, major bs, im done ranting@

Not true, the Bugatti Veyron is street legal and can hit 245mph.\does it have a blown TT'ed 454? and what does that car weigh?. im sorry but a steel camaro with a cage and a 454 , a super charger and 2 turbos aint going to weigh any less than 3000lbs

To say anything about being streetable. :disappoin

Edit** and wasn't the fastest f-body ran only at the salt flats and hit 210ish before being shut down over concerns that the body was ready to fly apart?

oh, and it was a third gen of course :lol:

Gale Banks Engineering
1987

Running on nothing but straight gasoline, this Banks twin-turbocharged Firebird scorches the Salt at 287 mph to become the new World's Fastest Passenger Car. Despite dozens of challenges, Banks 'Bird held the title for 10 years.


1990

Despite possessing the aerodynamics of a brick, Banks/GMC Syclone pickup truck tops 210 mph, becoming both World's Fastest Pickup Truck and the first pickup to exceed 200 mph.

EDIT:

"By 1986, Banks had a twin-turbo Trans-Am that went 268 mph at Bonneville, and in 1987 he upped that speed to 283 mpb. That's 283 mph in a car that still had a radio and power steering. In fact, the Trans-Am was tractable enough that you could drive it to the grocery store if you so desired"

fucking sweet!!!

Damn I always cross the Firebird and the truck. :(
