I wonder how long the Old's engine could stand up to the engine running on high. That must be one helluva conversation killer

"Nice car! What's the Engine on that thing?'
"It's an Olds Engine"

When everything is coming your way, check what lane you're in.

it can if you twin turbocharge it to 1000bhp, wonder if they modifyed it at all as i doubt a standard Oldsmobile engine could stand that much compression.

Check out the Oldsmobile Aerotech, there are 2 versions of this car, a short tail version and a long tail. the short tail version will do 267mph, and the long tail 276mph. both have 1000bhp from a 2 litre 4 cylinder!

WOW! That's incredible! I googled it and found it to be a low slung, superlight (1600 lbs) concept car aerodynamically tuned for one thing only: top speed! The site I looked at (which seemed very credible as it was and index of conecpt cars) listed the hp at 750. 276 mph in 1987! I was quite skeptical at first, but considering the aerodynamic shaping and the pwr to weight ratio (2.1 lbs per hp) it's really no surprise! Thank you for bringing this wonderful curiosity to my attention! If I was a senior member, I would up your karma for that!

The Aerotech is one fast car, especially the long tail.

The WX3 uses it's own in-house engine, which, if the turbo boost is all the way up, will crank out 1,200hp. As far as the car going 250, Weigert has told me himself that the car has gone faster, but with a cliam like that, I'd like to see it before I believe it.

Weight doesn't affect top speed.

if this is generating 1000bhp in the 1992 year, 2011 will problaby be 2000 bhp. Maybe have quad turbos from italy's best Super Cars. Top Speed (estimated) i would have to say about 304 mph!

No.. it does not. Weight has no bearing on top speed. Just the amount of time it takes to get there. #$%#tard.
