See my post on here. It has the potential to do quite a bit actually. I was surprised.

An addendum to this. I also looked at the V6 options, seeing how the eTorque Pentastar did against the monstrous 2.7 Ecoboost if allowed a 3.92 rear end (not available in current truck). The results are impressive from a torque curve (plateau?) standpoint. The hybrid version has the potential to have one of the…

Copy of a Facebook post, so please ignore any obvious restatements of the above article.

The difference is that the actions required to avoid a mishap must happen well before the initiator of said mishap is in sight. A car can panic brake from 70 mph in 175 feet. A train may take a mile or more.

I would presume that all of the adjustments available to the car were tweaked based on driver feedback until the best lap was generated. In cars where manual adjustment is possible, I would suspect the OEMs give a set-up car (based on their best judgement) to C&D. For cars where only tire pressure and electronic stuff…

I would suspect so...Still, competently driven, an ACR is probably not far off. It’s actually slightly lighter than an FGT and has more downforce. But... the aero is almost assuredly less efficient, the suspension is not as advanced (although still very well tuned), and the DCT in the FGT certainly helps. The FGT *…

I wrote that poorly. I meant to say that an ACR being faster than an FGT would take some believing. Aka, I agree with you. The FGT should be faster than anything shy of a Senna whenever that comes out.

Stock Viper ACR record at VIR is 2:40.02. The Lightning Lap time is 2:44.2.

The stock ACR record is a 2:40.02, so driver mod can get you there.

We can see it in the pro times for the ACR and Z06. Those are in the 2:40s (2:40.02 actually) and 2:41s, faster than both the 918 and FGT. I can actually believe that an ACR is faster than a 918 and a Z06 is close, but the FGT takes a bit more believing from me.

If I paid that much for a car and didn’t get a wet sanded paint finish, I’d be unhappy.

And by 700 HP, do they mean 800 HP to compete with the 720S?

I see them as having a couple advantages, namely the best autonomous highway driving at the moment and the best chassis/lowest weight. However, I still don’t believe that’s enough to bring people into showrooms. A V-16 as 2345 shows is what’s needed to bring people in, even if they leave in an ATS.

You are talking about driving one load with a power generator (whether that power source is an engine, a motor, or a steam turbine). Powering a supercharger with 125 foot pounds of torque and 150 HP through a belt is the same as spinning an engine with 125 foot pounds of torque, through a belt. The belt doesn’t know…

Hemi is available without the hybrid. All V6s have it.

Thoughts between the two?

I doubt they’ve broken even. I remember listening to a Russian gentleman talking about their own bids to enter the civilian market. He said 500 planes was a fairly well-accepted number. So your point is definitely valid.

The Supercharger on a Dodge Demon takes probably 140-150 HP to run at peak HP. So at 6300 RPM, 150 HP equates to 125 foot pounds of torque, which incidentally is about the same as the hybrid drive motor on this Hemi. It really doesn’t matter how big something is...compressors take a lot of power to drive.

What’s your point? The engine turns the supercharger...

It better be a bunch more than 707 hp if they actually want to beat its output.
