Funny how BMW's TTN54 engine gets engine of the year with its HPFP issues.

i know many of you probably never have or never will drive something like this that goes from 0-240 in 5.96 sec, 820ci. making 3000hp at 8500rpm but i have , and that sound in person is the best sounding thing that any car lover could ask for, i have been lucky enough to drive and work on these cars for many years for a living, along with many other high horse power things.

GOOD LORD!

at the :44 mark what was he firing up in sequence like that from that overheard panel? Whatever it was it sure as hell was bringing online some extra punch each time.

those buttons activate the nitrous for the split second he bumbs the button, thos revs the motor because the motor recieves nitrous and fuel. this is done to purge the air out of the fuel side of the nitrous system and of course the nitrous is purged out into the air , that is the big stream of white mist each button works each individual system this car has 4 systems

I know there all kinds of 5000hp+ alcohol engines out there that sound absurd, but I was more or less just talking about high HP daily driver engines that don't need to be rebuilt every 1/2 mile....

Bugatti Veyron SS, 1200 Hp---reliable hp, and top speed around 255+ . 300 kg lighter than the current car, and price 2 million. Which one would you take...straight line, or one that makes a woman's panties melt 100 yards away, but has AC to cool off?

pro nitrousADRL · « **Reply #39 on:** June 25, 2010, 02:54:39 PM »

i used to have a car that i drove everywhere man , it had a 598ci. pump gas motor, it only had like 9:1 compression, it made 1012 hp on the dyno, and then it had 2 fogger systems on it for when i needed to go fast. God knows how many miles that motor had i used to drive it from state to state to the races before i had a trailer. it was my only car for about 10 months man, it ran 7.80s in the 1/4 all day long with both stages turned on, it ran 9.90s on the motor, tagged , inspected, with e.t. street tires through the mufflers

bro, i would take the drag car. anyway women do what ever we want at the races just to hang out with usin the pit are, and to go and party after the races. and i have never been a fan of open wheel stuff or cornering, not saying its not exciting but just nothing i have been interested in, and i know many of the guys who race things like nascar or formula one, and some others. they say the same about us drag racers lol, thats cool that cars will go 255 but how long it take to get there??? thats my thing i like the acceleration , not soo much the top speed, top fuel cars make over 5gs, the car in the vid i posted makes 4.2 on avg.

Bugatti Veyron is a straight up hideous awful sounding car I dont care how much its costs, I'd take a Diablo over it any day.

Customers are paying for ultimate "refinement", not loud noise...It's a uber lux GT car, that happens to have the highest top speed of nay production car...I still think it looks like a flattened and stretched VW Beetle

I think it's due to the engine itself , like a Viper with a V10 those thinks just don't sound good at all , V12's V8's and hell even some V6's all sound eons better

pro nitrousADRL · « **Reply #45 on:** June 25, 2010, 03:55:58 PM »

i have heard some bad ass twin turbo v6 motors before, i know a guy that has a buick regal that has twin 76mm turbos on it and we shifts that fucker at 9800rpm. its crazy though, he had the crank lightened, i think he said it weighs like 17 lbs!!!! and it has billet aluminum rods of course, the rotating assembly is super super light. its a short stroke, big bore motor also, so that the weight is slinging around too far inside there

Prolly cause the Viper engine is not a DOHC with flat plane crank? The BMW V10, sounds like a beast, formula 1 like.

Totally agree. If I'm gonna buy an expensive car, it should at least make me spew in my pants everytime I start the thing. The dodge V10 is one of the worst sounding engines i've ever heard, second to the 16 cylinder quad turbo Veyron of course. Sounds like a giant vacuum cleaner.

Yeah the R8 V10 sounds worlds better too. Same with the Gallardo's V10.

PARKER what are you referring to when you say flat plane crank? I have worked in high performance machine shops, speed shops, top fuel team, pro mod teams, pro stock teams, and even tought machining to a class sponsored by autobahn and worked with racecars all my life and have never heard this term anywhere. I am just curious ? Is it like just something found with bmw or something?
