tried. can only get one sitting on each headlight as otherwise be sat on the manifold which would be a touch hot.

dont think running it on the dyno on them yoko a048r's helped the situation much either. normal road treads works better.

nevermind. main reason it went on rollers was to check it was ok. and it still is so all is grand.

might try and make up something like this



so sit it over front wings then ratchet strap down. hopefully stop the front end from lifting. or make something that bolts to the strut tops perhaps.

im suprised rolling roads dont have a setup like that. similar to what you said but i think whatever it anchors down to needs to be plumb with the crossmember and concreted into the floor

why dont you go to a hub dyno and get it done? no wheel spin what so ever, and shows the bhp to the hubs

ones above are updated pics.

it span on the rollers at 469bhp and 421lb/ft at 5000rpm ish. therefore a calculated gues at 7k rpm as it should still make power by then easily, is just over 500bhp. its quickest 1/4mile to date is 12.0 at 129.9 mph.

it now looks like this on outside



changed from speedlines down to 15" compomotive mo's.

still loads more to do to it. fuel system, roll cage, paint inside, carbon rear door cards etc etc. just keep trying it on the strip until it runs an 11 something then i can retire and sell it.

no fronts, no tricks, just straight up ken.

kinda up there with a ferrari f430, 911 gt2, quicker than the original zonda etc. its 0.5 of a second slower to 130mph than a merc mclarren slr which aint bad for fwd and no traction aids.
