You guys remember the special paint that turned from red to black depending on the reflection of light? Well, if you get accused of having a stupid hack, tell them you have a heat-sensitive paint.

No, but I am subscribed to a lot of automotive users. It just showed up on my YT homepage.

A drift car made when I was online, SlenderMan, a fellow GTP member asked me to built something different

MAZDA ROADSTER NC RS QUAD ROTOR Dorifto 750HP-850HP


The Mazda little NC roadster gets bigger engine, way bigger, a quad rotor with custom low turbo gets transplanted. A special treatment cuts the power to 750HP while still retaining original engine power and torque curve

Originally the engine would push over 1000HP with the custom turbo and racing exhaust. As requested, a special suspension also fitted, with ability to have 3kg to 16kg spring rate and very low ride height at the same time. Special green paint and gold chrome wheel completes the package.

Here are my RUF-Collection from today:

Thank you for lowering the CTR2. That car always looks way too high off the ground.

 

[Ridox2JZGTE]

From back in 2.11 build of Gary Church RUF RGT TwinTurbo 500+RWHP-800+RWHP replica, a few weeks ago I made a different version of the car, now it has upgraded twin turbo, more power, less weight, faster, and lower, the RUF is one badass car. I will post the Gary Church RGT TT car next time

RUF RGT TwinTurbo 900+HP-1000+HP



Using original engine, special tuning and turbo added to bump the power, the engine has 8000rpm red line, torque curve designed for better traction at low speed and better control at street level driving. Stock gearbox & custom ratio help maintain engine in sweet powerband and achieve 230+mph top speed.

Weight reduction is taken to the extreme, the original chassis now is less than 1000kg, with insane power to weight ratio, this car is not for the casual driver. A special custom suspension also fitted to lower the car even more, as the car is very light, low spring rate is important, using the usual race car suspension do not cut it, it bounces a lot at bumpy tracks like The Green Hell. Currently the car is tuned for comfort soft

What suspension do you use? I tried Bentley Speed 8. It looks good but feels rediculous.

I'll PM you It's a trade secret I spent a lot of time, extracting suspension codes, compare ride height, and stuff, yeah, I made even more research on turbos, engine tuning and power adder parts.

Do you guys have any Diesel hybrids to share?

 

[Ridox2JZGTE]

A taste of things to come :

 

[GTP_CargoRatt]

I am in RUF heaven. I would be most appreciative if Dennis and Rido would be so kind to put their RUF's on share so that I could try them. Haven't had much time to do any hybridding of my own and besides, you guys are way better at it than I am.

 

[DennisG40]

*hehe*
but maybe a little warning... the weight is pretty low 800-920kg... some with downforce...
they are little cannonballs for the street... may be not very easy to handle!
haven´t testet all of them... only the yellow bird on the green hell... could easy do a 6:30 on sport soft... but a lit tricky...
put them on share tomorrow, then you can test them!
good luck...

It will be shared within 10 hours I made a car for Bradzzz11 earlier, it will be shown here soon as well. By the way, how are the cars that I shared recently that are now in your garage

 

[GTP_CargoRatt]

Thanks Dennis and Ridox.

@Ridox: I actually tested and drove them all yesterday I think it was. They were all great as usual except for that drift car I had forgot about being a drift car. I got in that thing and took off and thought something was wrong with my wheel. That car was as slippery as an eel in oil. I was like, what the hell is wrong here. Then I remembered, it was a drift car. But yea, the other ones were great, loved them all. Appreciate you sharing them with me. 👍

Thanks for the feedback Now I wonder about the drag car, have you tried to do a quarter mile run with it ?

Shoot, that's the one I was forgetting about. I knew there was one that I still needed to test out. I didn't test it yesterday because it is a drag car and I was going to take it to the Test track but forgot. I'll give it a go here in a few hours and post the times here. There are two of them, I remember now.

Not sure what you mean here with the numbers, but I am far from a drag racer. I am like a fish out of water when it comes to drag racing....and drifting for that fact. I was just going to give it my best shot and see what happens. Maybe better left to the experts to test though.

 

[OriginalCheezIt]

Alfa Romeo 10C Castagna​

Named for Alfa Romeo's first production car, this collaborative effort from three premier Italian manufacturers is a limited-edition version of the Alfa Romeo 8C Competizione. With a 10-cylinder engine developed by Lamborghini, and a twin-turbo system engineered directly from the Ferrari F40, this Alfa produces 747 horsepower and redlines at 9500rpm. Set on a 1100kg chassis with a wider track and 20 inch wheels, the Castagna is a true Italian original.

What he meant is hold on tight, it's a rough ride all the way to the finish line Don't worry too much about getting good slip time, just enjoy the power and beastly struggle, the cars need extreme concentration

EDIT : You should have the RUF delivered in your gift box along with tires to accompany the Green Camaro Dragster - do not install directly, send it to item list and install from there.

 

[coza427]

Rido I tried some of the suspensions you recommended and they all feel way to responsive for drifting and some really twitchy at high speeds on SS7 no matter how i set them up. Possibly because their race car suspensions. Got any non-race car suggestions, I just want the cars to go about an extra -5 lower than normal custom suspension.

 

[Ridox2JZGTE]

BRADZZZ11 asked me to built the ZR1 with TwinTurbo, it's a rather simple build with minimal parts added.

CHEVROLET CORVETTE C6 ZR1 TwinTurbo 1200+PS




Brad wanted something simple, yet deadly. The ZR1 gets an engine transplant from Z06 Vette, special engine tuning and twin turbo kit added to reach over 1200HP and redline at 8000RPM. The suspension gets 20mm lower than the original custom and better spring rate range as well. Stock gearbox and ratio is retained as it does the job well with the added power. A nice white paint and gold chrome wheel completes the mean sexy look

@Coza427 : race car or street car suspension do not perform differently, handling traits are chassis derived. What makes the real difference in custom suspension between cars are the spring rate range values and how low/high the suspension can go ( position ) - too high or too low ride height, too stiff spring or too soft affect handling regardless which suspension is fitted. I installed race car suspension on my drift cars made for many people, and they all happy with it. It may have to do with the suspension tuning settings - check you spring rate, dampers, ARB, camber and toes. If you want a street car custom suspension that can go quite low with wide spring rate values ( as low as 5 kg ) I'll pm you

The ZR1 above uses the special low suspension with low spring rate, it handles great I tuned the suspension at SSR7, La Sarthe and Cape Ring South.

EDIT : PM sent.

I made another ACURA NSX TT just for fun, this time I up the ante

ACURA NSX TWIN TURBO 800+HP 10KRPM "Crimson JetStream"


I made another Acura TwinTurbo, through special selection of engine tuning and turbo kits - more power is achieved without hurting the traction or power delivery, all while increasing redline to 10K RPM Stock gearbox as usual and extra long custom ratio for 400+kmh top speed capability. The suspension gets lowered, a special red paint and silver chrome wheel completes the package.

 

[BRADZZZ11]

Since twin-turbo's have been a recent trend, I'd thought I'd jump on the bandwagon.

Twin-Turbo V10 Ford Lightning - 1000bhp+
Codename : Black Thunder

With a twin turbo setup, a tuned engine, a new suspension and a stripped body to lose a few pounds, this truck can do more than transport your goods. Turn down the boost pressure and you can have a slightly less insane 800bhp. Crank it up and you can be looking at the scary side of 1200bhp and on road legal tires, this can be a shocking experience.

But of course with over a thousand ponies, you can have her dancing in no time...

When there's no time for theatrics, put the hammer down and hold on tight!

^Where did you source the engine?

The ACR I believe. The Lightening sounds like a Viper with the stock engine but with a sports or semi-racing exhaust I believe.

Twin turbo for what car? Nice truck
