| They are finding it more difficult than they thought it would be. Or they can be looking for someone to show their car on TV, and talk about their story... | |

Rep Power: 0 ![]() | My guess is that they blew *another* (3rd) gear box and now are left wondering if it is even feasable. I like the logic of one engineer: it's not the power, but the lack of drag and proper gearing. I would talk to ZF about a new tranny, dog-eared and possibly computer clutched. It would not be a road-fun car methinks ... |

| People running around with their 1000hp supras must be able to hit 200mph. I cant imagine it would cost more than £50k to make one of those... ![]()

| old porsches do run! | They should offer the car in their give-away contest with some silly question after (if) the manage to break 200mph. They will get a lot of calls and it would fund the project ![]() |

Rep Power: 0 ![]() | A hayabusa with a Turbo will get the front wheel up at 200mph. Just watch Ghostrider Goes Wild and he shows it to you. |
