Whoooooa! That car sure does have some balls and who ever wants to drive it needs to have some serious ones as well.
What you rekon that car can reach as a top speed?
Give some guesstimates guys!

top speed will be limited by gearing, stability or aerodynamics not the engine :)

And wasn't the engine originally derived from an old 6 cyl Merc engine?? Sure I read something along those lines a long time ago... :fencelook:

im still confused as to why the overbuilt this engine so much :rollsmile:

I'm confused by your statement

Yes, stock 2JZ's have proven to hold up at over 700whp, but that doesn't mean its the best and only way to go about it

And in this instance, its about planning for the future...some further upgrades will be done on this setup, which should see a further increase in power

Im confused as to what you find confusing about my statement :rollsmile:

the engine produced about 200kw from factory but yet its easy to get 700whp out of it... over built much :)

they must have been planing something madd or got very lucky...
