9.4 ltr Hemi in a 1 tonne car road
That's completely mad Goran... and totally awesome! If anyone else built it I'd suspect it would fold in two when they put their foot down, but being you I'm guessing everything has been properly worked out Yes, definitely not a car for the snow.... |

Nice to hear the hemipanter is still evolving Goran! Are you able to desribe how much faster you have made the car over the years?

It is not so easy to know how to describe the performance, it requires well-arranged test (that eliminate the driver skill) if one is to judge from reality. Theoretically, I know that the car is lighter and more power in the engine, so the acceleration rate should be faster now. It is mostly acc at speeds over 100 km/hr, for it is only then that tire grip begins to suffice. But then we have cornering and braking performance where aerodynamics have a lot to say and it is not as developed in my car. I would say that the braking performance is slightly better now than before because got more weight over the rear wheels, so it might make an improvement of 5% compare to for 5 years ago. I've driven on racing tires in all the years before, but now I have Pirelli P Zero, and it does not provide the same grip.

Agree, the car is insane. But I have gone into a bit in the dreamland, old musicians who I am, and then get the emotions a little more free games. It feels great to allow the street car to become more spectacular as it still can not be built like a racing car. I think it's fun and I hope that more people think it's funny to see in one of the many pieces boxed existence.
