WOW! the wheels made the car look absolutely insane! I love it!

Thanks! As you know there is something very unique and special about CF wheels! Sure makes people look.

I am sure you have some great options for this car that would make it look special too.

thanks
Brad

best project ever!

And now..... final dyno numbers as delivered:



There is more to be had on the top end, but we ran out of time. The next one we will get some more!!!!!!

Our goal was 500 and we made it!

I also heard something about a near 200 mph run happening today......

Here is the car hitting 200 on the dyno - YOUTUBE LINK 1 and YOUTUBE LINK 2

Thanks for all that followed this build!

Very cool. Congrats on making 500 whp!

Was the 500 made with the CF wheels? How much of a gain do you think from the CF wheels on the dyno?

200mph is going to have to wait for another day, The car did 182 up a 8% grade at over 4000 ft elevation in the mountains between LA and Vegas. We also posted a 196 MPH run on flat ground in the outskirts of Las Vegas, but kept running up on traffic, but the car was still pulling. These speed were recorded and measured with a Garmin GPS device. I might also add that we had two 200 pound guys in the car plus 100 pounds of luggage. This is easily a 210 mph car. Stay tuned, we will are going way out in the desert tomorrow to try for a 200 plus run.

Awesome numbers, 500 whp! I would estimate this would put the car in the mid 11's trapping @ nearly 125 mph in the 1/4 mile? Planning to do any runs? I'm excited, looks like my goals can be achieved

Schiznick

All I can say is WOW and roughly how much for all of it.......

There will be plenty of other 200 mph + cars in Las Vegas this weekend...

NASCAR is running at the Las Vegas Speedway today and tomorrow...

Oh.... the magic of lightweight wheels.

Awesome job Brad!!!!

I have followed Evosports work ever since I was in the States early last year and came across your M5 in Modfied Luxury and Exotic...Man I thought that that was a car...

This is far far more impressive...

Best build I have seen in quite sometime...

Congratulations Evosport...!

Now how about a Stroker...

spr

Neat. Did I see a bit of flame on vid #2??

LZH

yup - i saw it too....must be runnin rich.

LZH

Awesome results man, very well done. That 200mph dyno run is pretty sick, but obviously hitting that speed was with no aerodynamic drag as the car is sitting still. Regardless, I'm sure it'll do 200 easy.
What tires are on it now ? MPS?

jrcart

I believe that "rich" dyno run was before the airbox mods.

TODAY 206 MPH VERIFIED VIA GARMIN GPS, IT WAS STILL PULLING BUT AGAIN RAN UP ON TRAFFIC. sHE STILL HAD A BIT MOR IN HER, ONLY PULLING ABOUT 5100 RPM. WE HAVE POOR VIDEO FOOTAGE OF 206 MPH RUN. WE ARE GOING TO GO OUT EARLY SUNDAY MORNING FOR ANOTHER RUN AND BETTER QAULITY VIDEO

Jim,
Please be as careful as you can be for yourself and others on the road.
Just a bird or any animal hitting the car at those speeds could ruin the animal's and your day...

Please use a good camera... and maybe someone at the same time videoing at the point your going by at 200+ mph... as that might be the "Money Shot".

Jim

You guys are nutty! I love it!

Glad you are enjoying the car!!!!

Now get to the track and watch that race.

Thanks
Brad

This car is complete hit, we are staying at the Palms in Vegas, the valet line is filled with Lambos, Porsches, Bentleys and other exotic machinery. The Valet manager said the car has had a crowd around it all day and night since we arrived on Friday. He said are not quite sure what it is, but they know it is something special.

The car is very fast, raced a F430 yesterday and it was not even close. We stopped to talk and he said that he could see my tires spinning as I pulled on him, he said I opened up 4 car lengths on him while breaking the tires loose from a 25mph roll-on.

Going to head to the NASCAR race now, probably going to be too much traffic to try any top speed runs.

Did you ever try your car on a track yet? It should easily be sub 11s now

otoupalik

Thanks guys for all the kind words!

Thanks Jim for letting us be a part of making your dream for this car come true!

To anyone that wants info, please email ME or SIMON and we can help you. I am sure that Jim will make himself available via Email, PM or phone for people seriously interest in and want to talk to him about these mods.

Thanks

Well, 206 must be the top speed...I made another top speed run yesterday afternoon and all I could get was 206 again. It must be the increased downforce that is holding it back because it is still only indicating approximatly 5200-5300 RPM in top gear, which I found odd. Does that sound odd to anyone else? I would assume if it was hitting an aero limit it would still be able to pull redline or close to redline. It just hits a wall at about 190 and a bigger wall at 200 and then inches up very slowly from there. I held it open forever and it never climbed above 206. The ground was flat and there was little or no wind. I'm going to give it one more try once I get the car back home in Chicago, the city I live in is 600 ft above sea level vs. 2000 ft above in Las Vegas, I want to see if that will make any difference. I'll keep you all posted

LZH

That sounds about right considering the additional down force, hp, weight of the car and the tremendous amount of drag your dealing with from 190-200mph. It takes a LOT of hp to push a car from 190 to 200, and as you mentioned.....temp, humidity, altitude and wind all play a large role at those speeds. 206 is a solid number man, you're in GT2 territory....congrats !!!

Jim Brady

Great run. I calculated that you had a loss of 75 hp at 2000 ft. Might be worth a few more mph at around sea level.

jrcart

All of these calculations that some of you guys and Evosport have been giving me are way over my head, It's great that there are people like all of you to figure those kinds of things out. Your calculations are probably dead-on because we posted a 196mph tops speed on 15 in California just before the Nevada border. I just checked on-line and that stretch of 15 is at an elevation ranging from 2500-3300 ft above sea level. I'm going to give it another shot when I get the car home in Chicago.

I just wanted to hit 200 mph once and see what the top speed on her is just for conversation and bragging rights. We all know that top speed in really a meaningless figure. 60-120mph is a much more impressive and important number...to me anyway.

Mu9enx

insane! definitely the BADDEST mothasucka on the road!

can anyone answer my question though?

how does wheels add hp? do you guys mean add as in free up hp?
