i think you misprinted the tire size on the techart car. at least I hope techart hasn't gone all dorifto and stretched a 245 on a 12" wide wheel...

F3INT, I think what Jeroen was getting at was that it may be counter-productive to retune something that factory engineers (who obviously know what they're doing) have spent years perfecting. Obviously more power can be squeezed out of any car, but how long will it last like that? i'm sure a stock carrera GT engine will last decades with regular maintenance, but again how long do you think that 9ff is going to last like that? I mean don't get me wrong the guys over at 9ff obviously know what they're doing, which is why it's 900bhp and not 1900, but still.

I would have to say that putting twin turbos on a Carrera GT is anything but sacrilegious since you couldn't hate on that person for wanting 900 horsepower and 900 torques. IMO there is no such thing as sacrilegious in the quest for ultimate speed whether it be sideways speed or straightaway speed or cornering speed; the parts that a person uses are completely irrelevant from the goal, which of course is to go fast! BTW my guess would be no more than 220mph top speed as aerodynamics get in the way at 215mph and horsepower stops becoming relevant.

i'm sure it's just a typo but the Rieger car is an A4 not an A5.

i agree about the Brabham car, the wheels don't suit it at all but otherwise is quite nicely sorted out.

If you ask me, I'd definitely pick the RSR from the whole lot... looks sick!

Hey guys I think I know what the hot rod is the cab looks like a 34 Ford truck cab, the bed looks Ford, the grill looks more like a 33 or a 34 Chevy and the engine is a big block Chevy like a 396, 427, or a 454. This is just my gess? I know for a fact that the engine is not a Ford or MOPAR so that leves just Chevy. Keep up the kick ass work guys.

the "A5" is actually an A4...

A4 is the 4- or 5-door, the A5 is the 3-door.

the front and back look pretty much the same though.

I kinda like the wheels on that 9ff Carrera GT, very purposeful looking. As for the Brabham BT92, I think it's a shame that they didn't do the proper thing and consult with Sir Brabham himself first, could've been a great joint venture and I also like the bodykit.

The Hot Rod is a 30-34 Ford Truck Cab, I`m not sure what the exact year is. The grill looks like a 33-34 Ford Coupe`s, but the suicide front end covers it up too much to tell. The engine is a big block chevy V8. I love new Euro Cars, but I gotta say, the best looking one of the group is the 3.0RSR

I actually like the rim's in the last pic. They are definitely not typical or what I expected for the car but I really think they are interesting. I'd like to see them in motion to make a final verdict.

Wow, that Orange RSR is insane! as for the hotrod, it looks like a chopped 32' ford, not sure what the engine is, but it doesnt look like a flathead
