Its cool to see the sleeper come out on top, its funny though, when you see the 2 cars stage up you can just tell the ferrari is gonna lose. I would say in the way of top speed that ferrari would win, the nova is quicker but theres no way he has 800hp in that car. Even a stock ferrari like that would win in a top speed match, its gotta do over 200mph for sure, that odd shapped nova is not doing 200mph when he is not beating the ferrari in a 1/4 by much. Its a cool car for sure, but top speed the pasta rocket will win.

the nova in the vid has 2 vauxhall calibra engines, one front, one back.
each one has phase 4 tuning which equals 400bhp per engine X2

the guy still has issues with the transmission and traction so hes not getting any better than mid 10's at the moment

he has a timed 0-60 of 2.6 secs though. i know for a fact its only geared for 170 at the most but if he had the right gearing and the guts to do so, he could go beyond 200mph.

i know all this as im a member of a forum he posts on and has had a magazine feature on the car

damn mid tens. thats pretty pathetic for a 700 kg car with 800 hp.

Im not saying your wrong with your information, im just saying word of mouth can have an affect on what kind of power the car actually does have. LOL you know what i mean, someones wins a great race and next thing you know the story is that he pulled the wheels up on first and second gear then chirped 3rd and 4th, LOL someone maybe said they think it has 800 hp, but 800HP for a car that light should be alot faster. Still a sweet car though.

yeah i know what you mean, i think the main reason for the crappy times is him using 2 f28 gearboxes, also from the calibra. if there was some way he could link them both up to a decent auto and tub the rear end and fit some tyres wider than 7 inches he could probly improve the time
