>>>Derrek - How's it feel to ride in that 750 HP MONSTER?!?<<
I don't know yet. We just had to work all this up to get the right size fuel cell in the car to allow for 1 hour between pit stops. The stock set-up 951 with 400 HP would start to sputter a bit at almost exactly 1 hour on the track when endurance racing. Most enduro events are nicely divided into hourly pit stops for fuel/tires and a drivers change. We are building an all-out effort GT2 bodied 4.2 ltr Twin Turbo Semi-Tube frame 911 race car for completion next year that makes up to 1000 HP on the engine dyno! We need to find a way to shoehorn a 45 Gal cell into it!! We also have to build our own overhead fueling rig that holds 100 Gal of fuel (most hold 50 gal)since we are running two cars in enduros next year which combined need 90+ gallons per stop! Being a small race team we cant really afford to set-up two pits and the cars will have to share.
