Holden Commodore producing 1900 Whp

[Konichiwa]

At the Holden vs Ford show this weekend (just gone), Eddy Tassones VZ Commodore ute made 1899rwhp, which is a new world record. The car has a 383 stroker V8 (based on the old Holden 5.0L block) with twin turbos, custom cam and manifold using 40psi and C16 fuel. Apparently they backed off before the redline because the engine was leaning out due to the fact it was not tuned properly (they only put the engine together the day before the event), so it only revved to 6500rpm, and the dyno graph indicates it will keep going.
so what do u think still the bugatti or this?

Almost 1900whp....u can pull anything wid it...:p.....this is just an experimental car...like the Truck wid jet producing Hell lot of power..dont remember the exact no. ....

@sarkaar
well yeah this was an experiment gone good!, and well its street legal, so dun even think about reveing ur engine near this beast hehe, ne ways it was a great experiment now i wounder which poor suckers gonna race this?

dammmmmmmmmmnnnnnnnnnnn..................

[BHAILOGE]

nice

[charterali]

Power is nothing without control...

[beeberg]

couldnt proved practical

@Sarkaar

that truck produced more than 6k horse power.

[symbiote]

errr isnt it like 1895 HP? its gonna be different from WHEELhp

[Konichiwa]

@chaterali
true that bro.

@symbiote
hp is the engines power and well horse power as the name suggests i sthe power at the wheels, so lets say a car has 200 hp it'll have around 195 whp because till that power trvelas and reaches the wheels it'll have lost some, hope this helps.

Sorry your answer is not right. Hp is what is measured by the dyno on the engine without the engine being installed in the car. WHP is when the power is measured by the dyno frm the wheels of the car, and hence the term Wheel Horse Power.

What is the difference? There is a difference of about 15-20% in FWD and 15-25%RWD and 20-25% AWD Or 4WD cars, this is known as Drivetrain Loss. So keeping your example in mind a 200hp car will have about 160-170whp keeping in mind the 15-20% drivetrain loss, and similarly for the RWD and AWD cars. Why drivetrain loss greater in AWD or RWD is due to rear shaft involved and missing in FWD cars.

Btw These cars are called Dyno Queens, making it literally impossible to place that power on the road with just the rear wheels alone.

@racerf1
oooh damn that was a mis-type sorry man jus read it rite now. hehe ne ways what i was tryin to write was the same thing u wrote
@mianz

tooooooooo much for me.....!!!!!!

@Racerf1

thanks for the info but i already know that :)..what i meant wat..the dyno showed 1895 HP..so the WHP is going to be different than the reading on the screen...but it doesnt really matter..its still fast

[Mianz]

just having more power does not means it will go fast. TITANIC had 69000 BHP. and it had an equavalent land speed of 46KMPH.
its the power to weight ratio that matters.

[symbiote]

its a ute..theyve taken out the stock seats and all...its still pretty fast....ive seen a Ls2 run a quarter mile in 9 secs...

[highlight]"Wowww"...!

I'll still go for
"Bugatti"
if I get a choice ...![/highlight]
