Can't you get an even bigger engine that costs a lot more $$$??

Post by: Bfit on April 27, 2012, 05:21:53 PM: Just do it
Worry about the minor things later
Like hood, cooling, engineer, will the gear box stand up to it
Again just do it .

Post by: 69DirtyRat on April 27, 2012, 07:08:14 PM: You are all missing the point, I dont neeed add ons I can get all that power and the engine and it will look exactly the same as whats in there already! You guys wouldnt even know if I did it! except I would have about 1200-1300hp?!!!
I dont need a blower, I dont need a turbo, I dont need NOS, I dont need extra cooling, I dont need an engineer (because he wouldnt know!) yes the gearbox would blow up BUT that gives me an excuse to get a Hollinger but the rest should hold up!

Banshee I

In 1964 Pontiac unveiled their newest concept car, which they dubbed the Banshee. During its development it was called the XP-833 project. This car was a small two-seater with a long, sweeping hood and a short rear deck. Several different versions were constructed, but only two drivable prototypes were ever built. One was a silver hard-top with a straight six engine and the other is a white convertible with a V-8.[1] Both survive today and are in the hands of private collectors. The silver hardtop version of the Banshee can be seen in the classic car section of Napoli Indoor Auto, In Milford, CT.

The styling on these cars is highly reminiscent of what appeared on third-generation Corvettes in 1968. Another styling cue that made production was the design of the tail lights, which are nearly identical to that found on first-generation Pontiac Firebirds. Indeed, the high performance and sensuous styling of the Banshee may have led to its demise. Head of Pontiac John DeLorean called this car the "Mustang Fighter" and rumor has it he fully intended to bring it to production. However, his bosses at GM felt that it would be a threat to the Chevrolet Corvette in that it would steal sales from the Corvette and also that (if DeLorean had his way) it could out-perform the Corvette as well.

This did not sit well with GM execs who had marketed the Corvette as their top performer; even today, recent models such as the Camaro and Firebird - even though using the same engine as Corvette - have those engines de-tuned slightly so they will not have as high a horsepower rating as a Corvette. The Banshee would have had equivalent horsepower, yet weighed 500 lb (227 kg) less than the Corvette and so would have been a potent package. It was able to reach 60 mph (97 km/h) in second gear. GM executives instructed DeLorean to cease further development in 1966.
