Got this in my email box from Sweden tonite:
We have testrun it on the road today at about 750 hp and dude.....its quick. All the home made suspension, drive shafts, cv joints, rollbars, steering etc etc is working awesome!!! We did about 100 miles on the road and not leaking or anything. It had A LOT of trigger problems with serious misfire and startup problems but they are now all cured, took a while… =) We probably had up to about 250-270 kph and running steady and fine. That’s at 1 bar. When we run 2 bar it will be 1000 hp. See pics. Best, Alx |

A quick update here,
The car is buttoned up, and started testing at Poland's Tor Poznan racetrack. All day testing saw speeds of 175mph, and the car is really starting to shine with every tweak. Today the car had another great day of testing. The car will head out to Nurburgring from there to start the lap record attempt for fastest production car on street legal tires. Yokohama A408's. The wing has been running at the max angle of 18 degrees (optimum AOA), which really means that this car needs my new twin element profile i picked up from the BAR Honda yard sale from last racing season. At 175mph, the 76" wing on the car is putting down 1,300 lbs, of downforce, 145 lb's of drag and consuming 79 Hp from the motor. Keep in mind that the car has been only testing at 1 bar (750Hp), and will actually be turned up to 2 bar at the ring. I was sent some secret high (very high Mp4) video clips of the pre production intro. They are using helicopters for some of the filming. So there are some serious interests in this car besides Red Bull. |

Yes, after they finished the car... the owner wanted to take it to Monaco for some pimpin i guess. He busted a center lock on one of the wheels. So the car is stranded in Italy waiting for the replacement. Alx did send this to me yesterday, dyno results.
I think they are kind of pissed that they let him take the car to Monaco, but he does own the car, and is paying for everything, including Bill's work for 10 days and round trip flight. Not alot they can do. But i am pretty sure they are going to get directly to business once the car is back. it was a big unexpectd snafu. It is just way too much car for the owner to drive. He is a pro extreme skier, not a racecar driver. |

Keep in mind that that second sheet where the power falls is from 2006. The 2010 result is higher and might not be doing that. I asked, and waiting to hear back. I am equally anxious as Bill surely is to get this pig in the air allready.
