4.0ltr twin turbo nova only shaving a couple of seconds off some LET's, seems a waste of time

It was done as a bit of an experiment... Not really pointless in my book.
It is only good for drag racing, if you wanted to drive it then you would need to join the drive from the engines together and have one gearbox. The cost would be stupid, but the performance would be amazing.

I've been in it 
Its times do it no justice, as changing gear in it used to be not easy.
It really made my car look like it was going backwards. Frightening.

Well I'd like to think my car would deffo be smoking a standard skyline gtr barge on the road LOL
If you talking about them vids up and down a track straight, its running a bit more power than that now!
And people that say its NOT good for road use are deffo mistaken!
I've been shot down in flames for this before PMSL...... but its a different class to any car I've been in before FACT, and its times do not do it ANY justice! Its a fact of life that things are judged like that though!

I'd say it's not good for road use. It's not road registered and it won't be able to get an MOT

I'd also say a 0-60 in 2.8 seconds is pretty damn quick too

Thats why it is on a J-Reg and has a tax disc? And it was driven all the way from germany to here and back! And run on the roads for at least a month when I saw it?

I think the 2.8 0-60 has about as much credability as my 35" dick ROFL
Trax timing gear is always a bit dodgy! I ran a 4.72 0-60 in a STANDARD UK Scoob, think book time is about 5.5-6 ish, I'm not that good at driving!
