Re: 6.0 lt5 flat crank 608 hp
Did any of you guys go to BG this year? Attend the seminars on the last day when Marc Haibeck spoke and Graham Behan also talked about cars they have done and are working on. Twin turbos with the sky as the limit. Cars making over 1000 h.p. and one buyer who's car they did was 12 or 1300 h.p. .

Re: 6.0 lt5 flat crank 608 hp
That footage is awesome. The idea of a full-race LT5 in an Opel Kadette is just freakin' amazing.
Only thing is that's not a flat crank in that particular engine. Flat crank V8s sound like four cylinder engines. Sounds like a Cup car at Sonoma or the Glen and all the Cup cars use 90° crankshafts.

Re: 6.0 lt5 flat crank 608 hp
Holy Moley! I've done some track time in the past in real race cars, but that drive was just frickin' scary! Awesome driving. A lot of air under the front wheels at times. Brave soul there.
Must need new brake pads after each run. Rotors were really glowing.

6:20.7 is really scooting around the Ring Nordschleife. To give a sense here are the times for the 100 fastest production cars:

Re: 6.0 lt5 flat crank 608 hp
Hans, you just might be right. Nothing moves in that video except the car. Tree's, people...
