when i was sitting shotty i was watching the tachg/speedo and he consistantly got up to 120-125 around the front/back straights. tach NEVER got above 6200 therefore was never on the second ca. the alcon brakes HURT your internal organs. the ohlins suspension wanted to sheer your head from your neck. youy could only hear the turbo/wastegate/bov over the exhaust, and from the stands i could only hear a massive note along with flames shooting out from behind every once and a while. this car is simply amazing. i will never forget this machine and the superb driver hehind the wheel.

Doesn't change the fact that it's a stupid sounding name. ...reminds me of a lot of cheezball car club names I see from time to time




I got one, we got an organization here in town called "Phat rides" most of them are ugly riced out piles of [censored]. They even have an S-10 with a can muffler and Altezza lights, and they let him wear the "phat rides" logo... Stupid name, filled with ricers.

McLaren F1 (first 64 units, not racing LM or GT) = 1136 kg (2508 lbs) and 627 hp = 4.0 lbs per hp

ForcedFed 380 kit = 380 hp

380 x 4.0 = 1520 lbs

This car is under 1520 lbs?

How did they manage to make it so light? I thought the full $40,000+ CF body drops the Elise into the 16xx lb range? They must have done something absolutely amazing!

my bad gotapex it is almost as powerful power to weight ratio but not as powerful. the guy i was talking to said the 380 was a conservitive guesstimate but power was closer to 400. as far as i know they changed very little from the standard car but i could be wrong

Ah ok. A friend just picked up the Hass turbo kit. I was about to go run out and tell him about the ForcedFed weight savings products.
