500 HP Club Comment Thread

This is the official comment thread for my 500 HP Club post. I decided to keep the comments in a separate post, since the 500 HP Club post was already exceptionally long. If you have any comments, questions, or requests to add a car, please leave your comment here. If the car is a valid omission, then I’ll get it added ASAP.

You seem to have forgotten the Audi RS6 one of the most amazing cars in the world. It has 580 HP. 2008 camaro SS with its supercharged LS8. The TVR also now has a 600 HP motor.

You might find my “hybrid”interesting.it is a 1975 5 series bmw sedan with donovan aluminum small block chevrolet.The builder,Joe Cain in L A calls it a bmw 570(7 liters or about 427ci)The motor was derived from what was originally a alcohol sprint car motor.It is now what my son calls a torque motor to run on 91 octane gas.The dyno sheet recorded 543 hp.The rest of the car is totally engineered and it looks like a proper Alpina bmw.I have not even come close to utilizing it’s speed potential.Is there somewhere where the above cars meet?People seem to be entertained by the car.Thanks,Casey Williams

NOBLE M600

Noble M600 is powered by a 4.4 liter Volvo V8 engine and has twin turbo chargers. It weighs 2820 lbs and delivers an HP per weight of 4.3 lbs per hp. It produces a horsepower of 640 hp. The cars’ horsepower per liter is equal to 147.7 hp per liter. It can accelerate up to 60 mph for only 3 seconds. Its speed can reach up to 225 mph- 1/8 mile (est) 7.2 s @ 107 mph .By comparison the Nobel is a relatively cheap and simple car but the designer Lee Nobel has a reputation for designing cars with some of the best chassis/suspension in the world. Also the turbocharged engine has a lot more torque and weighs almost 100kg, less that will make a big difference

And the Noble M400 powered by and twin screw duratec 3l v6 output 425bhp
0 to 60 in 3.3 and all that power for about 92.200 Euros ..

(only for europeen not to the fake loser market of canada and us)This car is incredible!!! Once again, Noble has pulled of Zonda performance at a lower price, incredible!!!
