that would be fantastic. i hope it can be done to several other cars as well
0-60 in three seconds too! sounds real to me. :lol1:
well he needs to be looking out for us foxbody guys and go ahead and let us in on the secret
0-60 in 3 seconds!! BULL*HI* that would be faster than ferrari!
damn he has alot foxes! and that coupe has some wide meats so. 1: that thing gotta be packing heat or 2: he's full of shit about gas milage
My buddy sent me this earlier and if you follow the link http://www.mustangevolution.com/20080702712/ it goes into more depth about it. The guy is an electrical engineer and worked to redesign the block and also added a number of electronics. It's pretty interesting and he is right about making current engines more efficient. Currently engines are 10-15% efficient at transferring chemical energy to mechanical energy. A lot of the energy is lost due to heat and friction. The guy in the video got his to be 38% efficient which is amazing for and IC engine.
0 - 60 in 3 seconds, 400 hp, 500 ft lbs and they were excited about it going 100mph? :dw:
lol i am calling bull shit
0-60 in 3 seconds? People need to stop fabricating self delusional factiods about the vehicle they drive.
It sounded like he pulled the 3 second off the top of his head, but 500lbs/trq in a 3k lb car would net you numbers close to that.
This guy isn't just claiming this, he's competing in the automotive X challenge so he has to have something going on.

not even a 600cc bike will get that kinda mileage. :bs:
Stock aero @ 3000lbs and 400hp no way no how he is getting 110mpg. Physics is your friend. Mileage is alot more dependent on aero, weight and gearing than "engine efficiency."

i highly highly doubt it's a gas only engine. even the e85 wouldn't help in getting those mpg figures. i'd put money that it's electric for a period of time before the gas engine kicks in or vise versa. maybe he figured out a way to have the gas engine generate the electricity so you DON'T have to plug it in. pretty neat though.
maybe it's from that sweet ram air scoop on the bottom front face. @ around 1:20 is it a shadow or is the muffler hanging insanley low to the ground??

It sounds far fetched. 500 lb.-ft of torque? Sounds like #s from a turbo diesel? :shrug::dw:
If it is indeed true, all car manufacturers are worthless and that guy is the ****ing man.
Turbocharged in some unique way maybe?
