550hp twin turbo Lingenfelter GTO
4 Attachment(s)
While attending a small car show today (held by the local Impala SS club) I had the privilege of stumbling across this monster, 550HP (510 to the wheels) gorgeous blue twin turbo GTO. Evidently it took 6 months to build and from what I could tell it was worth the wait. (those wheels are Lingenfelter as well) There were a couple of other cars there, mostly Impala's and 1 really nice slammed fullsize truck. Enjoy the pics :)

Looks pretty bad ass, but I guess this would cost a fortune. They already had enlarged displacement engines & SC packages for the GTO. While I think a twin turbo setup would be the best, I also think it would be by far more $$$.

good lord thats a lot of hp
|
can you say...torque?
|
I was a little bummed we didn't stay long enough to hear that thing take off but oh well, maybe next time :)

I bet thats nasty in a Straight Line! LOL
|
What's the stock HP on GTOs?
|
^hehehe i bet it's also nasty in teh poket book. but hey if you go tthe money..haha it'd be nic to have...dont' think i'd want to drive it during rush hour around the beltway though...hahaha:D

aren't they like 400 or something like that? |
yeah that's what I thought...
edit I'm a retard and can't do math |
well i'm sure they were going for reliability or something. wonder what size turbo's they are?
|
I would love to hear that engine. thats just sick

you can't get 510 RWHP from a 550HP engine

eh. drivetrain loss can be caused by a multitude of things. 40 horsepower DT loss would be impressive. That's less than 10%!
I'm not saying it cant be done, but if they're doing it, then wow. One of the guys at the RX7/8 meet last night here in DFW had dyno sheets of his 3rd gen with him of both the engine and the flywheel. Dynos were done on the same day at the same shop. He was putting down 400 at the flywheel and 348 at the wheels. That's 13% loss approximately. |
I'm beginning to think he may have been talking about his torque figures and getting it confused with the rwhp, either that or his car is an absolute engineering marvel :)
|
Keep in mind that some feel drivetrain loss isn't a set %. A lot of tuners think that as you up the HP the loss is less to the drivetrain since you're still turning the same parts and have the same amount of friction. The may have just dynoed the car around 510 and thrown the 550chp number out there as a guess.

That's 13% loss approximately. and on the same note, if the rx8 "has" 238 horsepower, and they dyno between 170 and 185 most of the time, and lets say average 177whp dyno then the RX8 gets approximately 27% DT loss if factory bhp claims are correct |

"Either way, that's one nice RX7."
^ RX7??????? GTO! |
