Thread: Oops the wheels spun.

I drove a V8 Landcruiser dual cab with extended chassis yesterday (unexpected so no pics).

Well not just a V8 but a super charged V8 and even with a ton of steel on the rear it was way faster than my Disco. It was soooo good my wife banned me from talking about it by 9pm last night.

As a work horse or touring thing it would be cool as torque was huge and it wanted to wheel spin the rears when taking off ( front diff has manual hubs). Far out I am like Fat Kev (God rest his soul), "Im excited".

Now I wonder how much torque I could get out of Stue if I super charged it (not likely mostly dreaming). The power of the Landcruiser was smooth and consistent although I didnt push it past 3000rpm as there was no need because I was leaving everyone at the lights with out trying.
It had the same sort of smoothness as the Ford GT (not falcon GT but new GT) although the GT had 550hp and costs $500k new, wow did that handle, stop and GOOOOO well.You can become a man possesed with that sort of power.

I wonder how long from when Fiona get home until I am banned againfrom talking about the power.
NO amout of flowers will account for blowing $500k on a two seater or even $100k on a ute.

How much would it cost to build a super charged engine say a 3.9 or 3.5?
Cheers
