And to think that there're some people out there who believe that the Dodge Viper is absurd... Ha! Tipping the scale at 454 kg or 1,000 lb, the Rapom is equipped with a 8,2-litre supercharged Mopar V8 engine (tuned by ICE Racing) that runs on alcohol producing 1000 - 1200hp (depending on blower speed and fuel used).[span style="font-family: Tahoma;" lang="EN-GB"][/span]

you can easily get a 350 (5.7L) engine over 1000 hp if you do sequential turbos to a supercharger blower. But thats where the money comes in lol.. getting the engine blueprinted and balanced to that combo.

  A complete setup like that will run you about 40-50k usd.

Hubba wa? It runs on alcohol?

[Russ]

Lots of race or strip only cars run on alcohol Lise.

I rather have one of these (call me a tree hugger) but this looks more appealing:

I always wanted the Nissan Skyline R34 (too bad they don't sell those here / tough to import)

 Actually Marik they're bringing those over here but I think it is going to be an Infiniti instead of a Nissian so expect giant $$$$ price.

I'll find the link for you


Here it is, its either going to be an '08 or  '09 model  but its coming over here.

[Russ]

where are you Marik? Theres tons of skylines here around Van/ditchmond area. Theres two companies that do only skyline imports, not including all the other places that do tons from the JDM,

  I have a buddy with two. I think he paid around 6k each. You know they are right hand drive right? I tried my buddies skyline a few times, nice ballsy car, but I ended up rubbing a curb. He loved me.

[Marik]

 WHAT!?! What an ugly ass car!!!! The R34 looks way nicer!!!
Thanks for the link though Sportsdude.

I'm pretty sure those are R32's you're talking about Russ. I remember reading about some law that makes it tough to import any car that's not at least 15 years old. R34's aren't new enough.
   

[Russ]

you could be right. I dont know anything about the skylines.
