    I was wondering if its a respost.

    They are claiming 400hp, from watching the videos, that seems to be wishfull thinking.

    Regardless, neat, but I am having a hard time seeing the power going to the rear wheels. When he launches, everything seems to stick real well though. It woiuld be interesting to find out if they were just unsing the stock wagon setup, or if it had been beefed up somehow.....

    He said stock.
    They probably rebuilt the gearbox with new steel cage bearings at the least tho.

    He chirps then goes. Seems reasonable enough for 400 ponies at peak.

    Thats insteresting in itself, as people constantly toss around the "200HP" number for all the RT system can handle before blowing up on itself. But aparently that dosent look to be the case here....

    its all stock non-rebuilt drivetrain and at the time of the video it was runnning a bone stock z6 motor with nothing but headstuds. hes building another motor and plans to have even more power next time.

    it should be cool to see what epic can come up with, i talked to them about actually doing it for someone. He guesstimated (i think with drive train) 6k.
    which honestly isnt that bad.
