he has to give them 3 tries in most states to fix the problem and or a certain numkber of days of them having the car totally I believe the number is 90 days but lemon laws are different for each state.
 
 
The whole problem with that is economic situations its just plain cheaper because of how spoiled Americans are with all the paperwork and quality control here. Its not actually our lack of quality control but what quality we will except back into our country it will all be outsourced soon except service jobs.......Its only going to get worse with high minimum wages here you can expect that even more things will be sourced out why pay someone 7.25 when you can move the plant to china or Mexico and pay pennies on the dollar for the same labor.
 
 
I'm with this guy do they know you run the biggest website for video on auto's?? I think that would change the whole situation.

If you can buy this car it isnt about how expensive it is.
 
 
lol a mile every 14 seconds......But whats really sick is some super rich jerk will figure out how to tune that thing and turn the boost up on the four turbo V16 Imagine it with another couple 100 horsepower which could probably be done by accident. Im thinking this will be the fastest street legal car for a very long time. Wow Italians are the epitome race cars. No one does it better.

Its like a F-1 car but miniaturized....gears can reduce torque however they would have to worry about rebuilding the tranny to change final drive ratios...
 
 
In a car that weighs just over 1000 lbs........You don't want torque....They already spins so bad you about lose traction in whatever gear your in. That is one of the main reasons they choose the Honda motor originally...That and the amount of power the motor can produce for how little it weighs...
 
 
no they aren't they start @ 30 and go all the way to 80 fully loaded with body panels and wings and crap with the 300 hp honda motor.
 
 
They do make them in the USA they have a builder here and you can get the 2.0 ecotec or the honda motors...even the supercharged version..

depends on what turbo.....also in a way hes right superchargers require a very large amount of power just to turn them...Turbos are way more efficient. You F or Y series superchargers can take up to 80 HP to turn them.
 
 
And when you blow your motor running 800 rwhp cant exactly take it to the dealership and have it fixed free huh...
 
 
Its not really marked up all that much. maybe a few 1000. Take a look at the website and see what all it includes special clutch a flywheel, radiator,suspension, brakes, shifter, interior visual and functional mods and exterior visual mods. The best thing about it all its only 8 psi and could easily be bumped up with a bigger pulley a diablo and fuel upgrade. I bet you could get another 50 or more hp out of it and still be able to take it in to the dealership without sticking out like a sore thumb.

Lingenfelter was smart that TT vette had 2.73 final drive gears so that it could gain some traction that way. Also has a good side benefit of gas mileage. If I remember the article correctly I think first went to 50mph 2nd went to 100mph thats just crazy and really can be driven on the street.

If you want over 750 rwhp you'll have to break the motor open. 6 psi is safe on C5's should get you 530-540 hp at the wheels.
 
 
It's not just low compression you have to have stronger internals. It would probably go to 700 though before it needs forged bottom end. the GT500 with nitrous already has been brought to I think 738 ftlb of torque. A TT GT can make 1300rwhp+
