That looks to be a smooth ride.

o wow, thats nice

Tried finding info on the build, but couldn't find much. Wonder what's under the hood.

Holly shit!!!

Damnnnnnnn..... :Drooling_ :Drooling_ :Drooling_

holy fuck

I want to know the internals of that 13B if its making 700+whp :D:

Great find DVS . Very cool video from inside the car .

Have you seen it run ?

sub 9 seconds is fast!

Burnout front lip must be bolted on for that speed - lolz

Look where the exhaust and wastegate dump - short and sweet

The engine bay was superbz!

The Exterior was nice!

The timing was 8.96 !!!!!!!!!!!

but the engine bay was bare................... who cares !!! ftw!

daily driver or what? lmfao

Wow. That's awesome.

No i havn't seen the car yet it should be at meremere on Sunday 30th January for the 4&rotary nationals if you wanted to see it.

jesus fucking christ... thats insane! a 1.3l two rotor engine producing 739.2 HP. if that doesnt speak for the rotary and show what its capable of. then i dont know what will.

While I can't list specific examples, I dont think this is the first time a 13b has seen numbers along those lines... probably one of the few instances it has happened in an 8 though.

could you imagine a 4 rotor running 30 psi? the drivetrain would certainly be a drawback but talk about a rocket

theres 13b's with plenty more HP than that.. NOt on a 8 like 8 maniac said, but they still 13b's. Lucymar from PR made over 1000hp.

actual 13B ?!

i wonder how long they will last b4 a rebuild....................

Not long... lol, I'm sure that falls under the squeezing the engine for HP category. But in drag racing its never which engine last longer but which one takes you faster down the 1320 ft even if that means a new engine every other pass..

Yea... But at least urs will last longer... ;)

Nice Vids!
