Default Got a huge problem

no its not technical lol


Someone has a Veyron and lives 3minutes away, and I thought I was taking care of that veyron, until I figured out today that a neighbor of mine just got an SSC Aero TT!!!

Time to add a methanol injection or get some worked turbos from Forced Induction.

Bob, I think you're being sarcastic LOL, ive been waiting for parts since god knows when, well I got the car in July 2nd and ordered the parts on July 4th, got into problems with some vendors, some never delivered the parts, had to order them again, spent more money etc...

Its not taking the shop for than a few days to get everything together, they got 6 people working on the car.

I figured they must of had more than one or two guys on it for you. Just remember, things never go as planned, especially when a one off car is being built. Bob

I agree, we ran into so many problems already, but were rectifying them one after the other, I just hope the scope of the problem isnt beyond what I could handle locally.

tt 427? You should have no problems. The weight of your car alone should make you a very nasty car on the streets. Add 900+ hp, and you'll be hard to find someone wanting to run you. If your not burning off tires that is. haha Good luck, sounds like a great build.

A guy about 3 miles from me has a Veyron, Enzo, Porsche GT2, Ferrari 430, couple AMG's, and 4-5 other huge dollar exotics. They all get parked side by side in his 10 car garage.

Gotta be $3 million in cars. Lucky bastard

Aren't the TTi turbos rated to 1000whp? I think with that much power (and some good tires) with the light weight Z06, you will be able to pull him.

The aero ultimate TT is like 1200+ BHP and is supposed to hit 270 mph. The current Aero tt did 256 mph i think.
