Underground Racing TT Superleggera vs. AMC Hornet


Recommended Posts

Cross post from Ohio GT2

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

Here's a video of a run I had this past Sat against a well known AMC Hornet with Indy heads, big progressive nitrous, 29.5 slicks, etc. He never runs it at the strip, but rumors are it's a low 9 second street car in the 160's. The chase Busa is a bolt-on set-up ridden by a light, good rider. We tried to run a second time from a 1st gear 25 mph roll, but the AMC spun and got out of it.

 

I got out of the first run around 220

Great vid, but I told you just point the camera's backwards!!!! :)

 

For those of you that don't know, Jamie has been on every forum known to man and has offered to travel across the country to get a race. VERY FEW have stepped up to accept his challenge.

There is no competition. What else has 4WD (for traction on the STREET) and is able to handle this type of HP while still maintaining stock/near stock drive-ability? Nothing is even close. The GTR is the closest.

 

The only car that will take down a TTG is a full out drag car with a big TT V8 on huge slicks and skinnies in the front and that's not very DD-friendly.

im waiting to see the numbers on a tt 458.

with some drags, that tranny, and boost by gear, i think it would be a close race.

 

doesnt the 458 have an advanced launch control that can "learn" a particular surface so that each run is quicker than the one before ?

It's still going to be about TRACTION. There is NO way a RWD can get enough traction (unless it has DR) to be able to keep up with a 4WD car on the STREET with street legal tires. Hell the TTGs and GTRs are spinning almost all the way down PREPPED DRAG strips. Unless you do a 170 MPH roll race then NOTHING (daily driver with all with comforts) is going to be able to hang with a TTG.

Gotta agree. anything over 900 is gonna be difficult for a RWD to launch properly. I mean he can, but will spin from 1st to about 4th depending on the driver. still would be pretty badass to see a 1000+hp 458
