Its the tyres and the clever boost control/traction control LPE employs that allow fo rthe insane launch speeds.
That car is a badass car through and through. A friend of mine was the photographer/videographer for the record runs - and he said in person that car is out of this world.. literally.

Hey, Norm! Thanks for chiming in. You've got an amazing car, for sure!!
But, I'm gonna play the devils' advocate here - since the post mentioned a possible 300 MPH, do YOU plan on trying to actually make that happen with that vehicle?
If so, what's the plan?
Thanks.....

I believe Tommy has been 200 MPH. How many others have? I was clocked at Daytona on the back going into turn three in 1990 in a Camaro at 228 MPH (Did not use the stupid bus stop). It not only takes a few good size ***** but you have to be a little nuts! You guys can have those 250+ MPH runs. Mine are not that big and with age they have srunk!

Just because it has cats doesn't make it street "Legal" Unless every part used has a carb cert. its not really street legal...And I know the stock fuel system cannot support that HP and if you alter the stock FFS fuel system(which they did) in any way you are breaking federal emission laws which = not street legal...
Let me put on my seatbelt.

Custom 16 injector fabricated intake manifold==not street legal..
Custom LPE twin fuel pump fuel supply system==not street legal..
XFC auxiliary fuel controller for additonal 8 injectors==Not street legal...
Shall I go on...
Still a stupid fast car though...

Jason, a Nissan Altima has a hard time hitting 150 with 250 HP and and is extremely lighter than the bugatti, I dont beleive those "top gear" stats, whereever they got them from...

A Nissan Altima does not have the drag coefficient that a Bugatti Veyron does. I believe it. The Bugatti is much more slippery. It even has a gauge on the back that tells you how much horsepower you're making...however accurate that may be.

The biggest obtacle to hitting 200 mph in only 18 seconds is spinning the tires. I cannot imagine a car able to accelerate that fast actually hooking up without all wheel drive. I'm curious as to what tires it had. I think it was Road & Track magazine that couldn't get the 770 HP Lingenfelter to hook up in a test earlier this year. The 1/4 mile et was actually worse than a Z06.

Your car is amazing and LPE and your car are one of the few that is leading the way for us Z06 owners that are intrested in serious performance upgrade for our cars.
Just curious on the 226mph run what was the MPH and time at the 1/4 mile. I thoughly understand if you don't want to disclose that info but I'm dying to know being that I want to TT my Z06 and I like hearing from someone that reallly has one instead of speculating times...and opinions on forums.
