"....but is far less than many people had speculated."
I must not be like many people then...

I figured it was going to be around 30, I can’t even come close to affording one but 1000hp and a warranty that’s not bad.

I agree, yes it's crazy expensive but that kind of HP is expensive, add that it's a new engine with a warranty and you get you you pay for

Everyone knows speed costs money, how fast do ya wanna go? What a freakin deal! $30.00 per horse with a warranty. Hard pressed to build anything close for that price..

The warranty clock starts ticking when you take delivery of it & unless you are dropping it into a finished car, with the amount of time it takes to build a car, chances are good that the warranty will run out before the car is finished.

Didn’t even think of that, bullshit because surely you’ll need to spend a good amount of time fitting everything up.

The warranty on my 472 Hemi crate engine ran out in 2006,and I have not heard it run yet!

Do you have yours pre ordered RC?

Then to find a transmission and rear end that will stand up to it. It's one thing to build a car for a quarter mile at a time but it's different animal on the street and who among us could resist banging gears with 1000 HP in front of us

That's a box of suck right there...

$30k for 1000hp

A Lenco could handle the power, but they are huge!
I recently read about another manual transmission that was being planned for a Hellephant, but I can't remember which one.
I would love a Superbird with everything set up for the best possible handling and high speed stability, and a Hellephant under the hood. I would think that kind of power would exceed that of the NASCAR 426 Hemi, and that should translate into 250+ MPH top speed.
WOW!

No doubt about it but that speed might wind you up in a bayou before you could say Hellephant…

A Jericho could handle the power, and it isn't overly large.

 

[Andew Sury]

A well built TR6060 could handle that all day.

A Dana 60 can handle 1000 hp?
