Re: 8 second typhoon

the best way to see some videos is go to youtube and type in either VTG, or VTG typhoon, or VTG corvette to see the awd corvette. it'll show you a bunch of videos. i have a whole lot more and also a ton of build pics but am not smart enough to know how to put them on the site. i'll get mike renz to put a bunch up sometime. but check out the youtube stuff and you'll see some goov videos and some bad ones too

Re: 8 second typhoon

Seems I did step on U´r toes ?

Not intended to, Sorry about that.

It take´s ball´s to drive that Ty so fast, ive seen it live numeros of times and even did a real check over, when we where at Belgium for Koe and in Poland and in Sweden,....checking competition ;D

Its realy fast thoug :D and they are nice to talk to at the VGT team with the corvette to.. even the audi is fast BUT they got in trouble on race checkups every time, always some thing not ok.

Roberts Sy was deemed not into regulations according to NHRA to run fast in US,(cage sign said SHRA instead of NHRA) dont U ever take that ty over to US they will never be permitted to drive lower than 11sec or maybee down to a 10sec run.

We have also talked here about safety, and Ed Hess is a front figure in this, also he proly was saved from lots of injury in his crash with his Sy because of the safety thinki´n.
Robert is also wery conserned with this, and the Swedish SHRA is synonymouse with the NHRA rules, dont know about the Polish race rules but as far as I´ve seen they are not up to standart yet.

Re: 8 second typhoon

Awesome time. I agree that this record should be different from a V6 record, but it is definitely the fastest AWD SyTy.

Out of my own curiosity, how fast has that AWD Vette gone? The quickest I can find is 8.99

Re: 8 second typhoon

i actually agree with you on separating the v6 and v8 times. also, i like to separate the 700 trans with stock intake and awd syty's. that's a very good ''class'' even though we really don't have any real classes. but it keeps with the stock concept of the trucks which i think i nice. i freely admit, we're just trying to go as fast as we can.

about the vette, i can tell you it has gone considerably faster than 8.9... considerably. depending on whether or not someone is close is how long we hold it on for. parts are difficult to come by especially in poland and we race almost every weekend so if we don't have to flog it we don't. but it will definitely go much faster. you'll notice on some of the videos we don't even launch it very hard or risk redlighting and then pour the coals to it.... it will positively run most stuff down and that way doesn't break stuff. i really like the one video i put up with it doing a burnout and it just smokes the hell out of the slicks front and back with no water and just hitting it.... that'll give you an idea of just how much power it really has. it makes about 1500 for real on a dyno horsepower and gobs of torque. it's a bowtie block 386 as i remember. with 18 degree brodix heads, dart intake custom built for injection. lots of major power making stuff in the motor and the best stuff i could buy. billet crank and special oliver rods for a custom stroke. major league custom diamond racing pistons that have worked out really well. it will really haul ass if asked to ... also, we want to keep it a little secret as to what it will really go for a little edge. i've put a major amount of work in on this thing myself and greg and marcin have done all the assembly and fitting in poland so we do have a massive amount of work in on it. and more than a dollar or two as you can imagine. i will tell you though that it has run in the mid 170 mph if that gives you any hint... take a look at the two videos on youtube of it just driving around warsaw. they're kinda boring but show's some great video of a 1000 year old major european town and also how it is totally streetworthy. the best part of the one video is of it going through the tunnel when he get's on it. especially if you have good speakers.

we've never had a problem with tech inspections in europe so they are obviously legal there. they have a pretty elaborate shop and actually build racecars so they are absolutely able to make it pass any tech rules they know about. but tech is sometimes an adventure, especially if the powers that be want to keep a car out. i guess i'm going to have to get a rule book and try to make it as legal as possible because i think i'm going to be bring it over to the US to play. the problem is that it's both very expensive to bring here and takes quite a while in shipping by boat. and during that time we would miss quite a few races in europe which is after all home for these cars. the guys were just here a few months ago staying at my house and are always offering to pay my wifes and my way over but because of my ever increasing health problems i've always had to say no. piece of advice to all you young guys. don't get run over by a truck and break all your bones and then get old... it sucks. i'm now up to more operations than most of you guys are old.. also, now i'm afraid to jinx them by coming over after they've won the last 2 king of europe titles... i'll come and the wheels will fall off or something and it'll be all my luck. but i'd reall like to go cause racing in europe in certain ways is quite exciting and the crowds are very enthusiastic. kinda old fashioned for us... before the rules too over and everything got so bracket racing happy with mini dragsters taking a lot of time and sitting in the staging lanes for 3 hours and sometimes not even making a pass..... at least that's what happens here. so i'd really like to go to europe. i just wish i could talk them into building the twin turbo LSX block 2000 horsepower motor i have all the parts info on (actually, i have all the parts sitting waiting for a home to live in... :) would be fun to see if the awd would hold up to a 6 second run wouldn't it... could be expensive to find out, but fun

Re: 8 second typhoon

It'd be nice to see some of these times get updated in the timeslips section of their profile!

V8 V6 single or twins doesn't matter when you are going that fast.
Like you said its all about having fun and going fast!

Glad to hear you are still able to help them along Les!

Re: 8 second typhoon

Les,

I don't want to take away anything from you or from the polish guys, but it's a false time slip. It was run in the super final (handicap racing) and somehow they f*cked up the timing. If you take a look at the TS it has a 0.6xx 60ft time and the trap speed is also slow (246 km/h) for that kind of ET. It was a 9.6ish run...

Anyway it's a fast truck...

Oh My God!!!!!! This is embarrasing! Don´t post any time if it´s not true!

P.S VTG vette - best time 8.88 nothing else!

He stated in an earlier post that it was an err, so im pretty sure he isnt that embarressed.

now the bad part. i think this time i posted, which i have a time slip on, is not correct. i think it's in error. the vehicle has run numerous approximately 9 flats in the past, but i think there may have been an error on this timing. so for the time being the only mid to low 8 second vehicle i have anything to do with is the AWD vette which has a syclone awd system and run's low 8's. the typhoon won king of europe last year, and the vette won this year. :rotf:

Re: 8 second typhoon

hate to bust any bubbles guys that ... Oh mein Gott...!!! i posted a bad slip!!!! but i'm not really very embaressed, because if you'd bothered to read WAY BACK on page one of this thread the 12th post down was from me and the whole last paragraph is about how the timing slip was obviously wrong and the time couldn't have been correct. don't really know what more i can say other than ''which i have a timeslip on is not correct. I think it is in error..."

gee, i thought that would be good enough. what should i be embarressed about? the time slip clearly says 8.695 and the rest is in a foriegn language for me. and i didn't catch the KPH since we don't deal with metric here. so, lets be correct... i'm not really a bonafide liar ...... (oh my God how embaressing... don't post any time if it's not true) ...... i'm just stupid cause i can't read hungarian or whatever it's in and i didn't catch the error in a foriegn language......... but you're right. these tracks that aren't really tracks and only have portable equipment and are converted to english just plain can't be trusted to be accurate like real drag strips here in the USA as so many have said in the past..

but thanks for making sure ,even though you're about two full pages too late....:) and for what it's worth.... that 8.88 time you mention as being nothing else, is the fastest time YOU know anything about, not the fastest time I know anything about. but what do i know, i only helped build the damn thing . but 8.88 i think is fast enough maybe i'm wrong about that too....if i'm wrong and my car didn't win the KOE championship in it's awd class then i'll apologize right here and now.. did it or did it not win the KOE championship?

i feel like i'm dealing with hall monitors tattle talein on me for my not having a pass to take a piss during junior high lunch period

and oh... lest we forget... it's a V8

Ehm, did mrsyclone step on your toes or sump´n???

IF U had the timeslip before U posted the 8.695 time I for once would´nt post it at all

because it says clearly in english

Reaction 1.593 (as in building boost in a turbo engine)

60 Ft 0.657 (thats a reeely fast 60ft, this should smell fishy about the time right here)

1/8 ET 5.423

1/8 KMH 192 ( 120 MPH This is more like a 6,423 et on 1/8 mile)

1/4 ET 8,695

1/4 KMH 246.57 ( 154,1 MPH This also points to a 9,695 run )


To konvert from KHP to MPH U do a KMH / 1.6 = MPH
or U goes MPH * 1.6 = KMH easy math



I dont know hungariant either BUT I can tell by the nrs that

28,1C is 28,1 Celsius hot air temp

32,5 C is track temp

30 hPa is barometric pressure in pascal

2 Km/h is side/front/rear wind speed.

224 fok I asume is sea level mesurement but what scale I dont know..


And yes the fastest time we know of on the corvette is 8,88 and thats a fast car :D
Even we know he won the AWD class in KOE no doupt about that either..

Also we hear about U help them build these engines to..so I belive ut on your word..

But post a good time slip with the best times next, so we avoid these trasched speculating treads..

Re: 8 second typhoon

Anders & Robert,
Maybe he heard the time, got excited and posted about it...and then got to see the timeslip for himself. He posted the time discrepancy himself, before anyone had a chance to even call him out on it - so what good does it do for you guys to jump all over him about it?

So lets recap.

1. 7/20/2008: Les posts about 8 second Typhoon
2. 7/21/2008: Les posts about error in timeslip
3. 8/5/2008+: Falco posts the timeslip and Robert and Anders start bashing Les over 2 weeks later after they obviously haven't read the entire thread, and have obviously not seen that Les himself had already admitted the timeslip had errors on it.

I think the only embarassing thing here is seeing you guys jump all over Les after he corrects his own post.
