Here is what happens when someone stupidly dares someone at Hotwheels to make in to life a model car.....

This actually works This ful operational racer produces over 1400 horsepower and features two blown Chevy engines!

with all respect wkid - who gives a fuck? it doesn't even look like a bike

**wkid_one** · 22nd December 2003, 09:38

Hence is why it is in Rave On Marty - NON BIKE STUFF......check the description of the Forum.

Talk about any non-motorbike stuff here.

Some people have an interests in things besides just motorbikes - obviously unlike yourself - with all due respect

If you are so anti things - un-motorbike - I suggest you don't open the Rave On forum.....you might get distressed - with all respect

jeez guys, just chill.
I'm sure everyone likes seeing some amusing stuff every now and then. It's not like it can't be cool or worth looking at if it's not a bike...

My point entirely

sorry - i'm having a bad day (have to go to work soon). i could just delete the post, but i'll apologise for being rude instead

Good Post Wkid, I wonder how much they paid to have it built!!

I mean, it's good to have a laugh but imagine being the one paying for it!

It would be kinda hard to see past those blowers. I bet you if the driver of this car hit a biker the excuse would be, sorry mate, I didn't see ya cause my blowers were obstructing the view

**wkid_one** · 22nd December 2003, 11:40

NP Marty - my reply was no better.

Yeah - 1400hp - it would be the tyre and fuel bill I would we more worried about

**Motoracer** · 22nd December 2003, 12:38

One oversized supercharger scoop would seem bad enough for visibility’s sake but two of them??

Whats the point of going that fast (1400hp??) if you can't see where your going?

Meanwhile the MG SV XPower Concept shown below chucks out 965hp (tuned version) on a more stable looking chassie. Not to mention better driver visibility!! There are a few more cars like these eg. TVR speed 12 with so much power that you never REALLY get to use in a lifetime!!

Or the Bugatti Veyron - 1001 bhp, 8 litre W16 quad Turbo. They don't bother with a zero-62mph time. Indeed, zero to 180mph in 14 seconds. One-Four. Top speed 252mph.

Some mad mad mad cars.....I love it.

Or - the Koenig Ferrari Testarossa Special - 1000bhp quad turbo

Of the Dodge Viper Hennessey Venom 1000TT 1100hp Twin Turbo V10. 0-100 in 2.2secs, to 160 in 5.3secs1150lb-ft

Highly expensive status symbols tho.

Ho hum.

Now, if we're on the topic of silly-fast factory cars, the TVR Speed 12 has actually been winning races against Vipers and the like. I'm sure the new Bugatti will have excellent wank value sitting in the garages of a few rather well-off gentlemen, but I seriously doubt that it'll ever post a respectable time around a track.

I'll take a piece of machinery designed for a non-ornamental purpose, TYVM... I can think of many beautiful and expensive objects that waste less space than a quad turbo "1001bhp" car.

At least that Hotwheels not-quite-Corvette has a certain up-yours in-ya-face impracticality to elevate it above the general overpriced self-loving asinine gaggle of pretentious automobilia jostling for the dollars of the neo-bourgeoisie.
