Mercedes E-Class W211 stuffed with V12 by Speedriven
April 1, 2011
The "heavy lifting" in question was the install of the V12 engine - Speedriven just did the tuning parts, which (at well over 800 crank hp, 700 at the wheels) is nothing to sneeze at.
As for Brabus building a better swap: they have a literal team of employees editing those videos. Don't believe it anymore than you believe the Michael Bay Transformers are "real".

Bernie's a twat - *I* would be winning in a RedBull ... just like everyone else who's ever driven a Newey car has won.

I agree - I am not sure what Marlboro is really getting for all their millions.

An article explaining why and how the 997.1 engine is such a robust platform to build power with ... enjoy!!

The new version (PDK) is a much lesser car than the 997.1. The 996 tt and 997.1 tt were based on the old GT1 engine program, and the case, pistons, rods, etc. could take ENORMOUS pressures before being stressed to a breaking point ... we have several 1000 hp cars to prove this.
The new 997.2 motor uses some software tricks to get the most of the power it is making, and is essentially a blown version of the "corporate" flat 6 used in the Boxster and C2 ... nowhere near the durability of the 997.1 ... these power levels aren't feasible on the 997.2 for this reason.

The office is actually split between "GTR" guys and "Porsche" guys pretty evenly.

LOL! Believe it or not, I enjoy your comments. You are right, we should post 0-100, 0-200 times, etc. along with 0-60.
As for blowing up, the P800 is a mild tune for us, built to run safely and effectively at 800 hp on 93 octane pump gas. In all our packages, "P" stands for "Pump fuel", and designates "daily driver" status ... the R911, for example, is a 900+ hp car on "Race" fuel (109 octane or better). Sometimes you will see P800/E900, which indicates power levels at pump and ethanol, etc.

We've seen 2.7, 2.8, ... 3.0 is a safe, conservative number that anyone who buys the kit will see.
Spygate part 2: Force India confirms legal action against Lotus, Gascoyne
June 2, 2010
That seems insane. Of COURSE some of Gascoyne's ideas will end up wherever Gascoyne ends up. Is Force India really trying to say that what is in the man's brain is their property? Ridiculous.
