. Toss in a 1.5L stock supercharged Kawasaki 310R jetski engine an get over 300 HP.
The F3 cars have 2.0 Honda turbo engines with 380HP! Presently they beat anything so far on our track, including the Radicals with Hayabusa engines. The F3 cars are capable of 1:50 sec, albeit at the price tag of 500K, not 35K like this Caterham.
Well, car weighs 1250 lbs, so 188HP Nissan is a lot more HP than the Cortina or even a Cosworth engine ever was in the Lotus Super 7 originals.
To run production cars in GTU class, upper HP limit is set at 250HP on skinny tires with no more than 245's and weight limit set on top.
We're in the process finishing my son's Honda S2000 [ 240 HP ] for the GTU class.
I didn't know you guys were stickin with class rules, I thought you were just out runnin-whatya- brung.
My fave tire is the Nankang AR1 and rather have that without discount perks. For lapping you run what you brung, that's me. Eventually, my son and I could end up with a Radical SR3 two seater for more fun taking friends for rides. We have at least a dozen racers in that class.
There is a lot of Bimmers in the GTU class here and they have a 2800lbs rule. Also, we have Continental Tire sponsorship and must use Conti tires. Not the best choice , but the tires are cheap and plenty.
Whenever we take some guest passenger out on the track, the pit marshal always ask if the passenger was on the track before? Friend with in hisRadical is pretty fast [ 2:01 best time so far ] and few people barfed in thoseThat SR3 with the 1500 Hayabusa looks like a one hell of a good time. Although playing passenger could be a real white knuckle experience.

next members day is 26th. If he's out there I'll take a video. He runs his ACR Viper as well as I do my Viper GTS occasionally. If I do forced induction, I'll go with roots supercharger for my Miata. I checked out the Kraftwerks Rotex S/C system, it would put about 200-220 HP to the wheels. There's a Radical SR8 for sale in Vancouver for decent price, but those need more frequent teardown , compared to the m/c engined ones. My friends with the Formula BMW's have as much fun for a lot less money [ about 25k cdn ] and cheap engines from wreck yard if needed.
a good Formula BMW driver time is in the 2: 10- 2:14 range compared to the Radicals in the 2:00 range. track is 3 miles long with 16 turns an 300 feet of elevation changes. We have 12 Camaros, three of them ZL1's for training purpose at Area27 Academy.
