Let's face it, it's 2023.... The biggest baddest cars, some with total full interior are pushing 1500-2500 horsepower... Factory vehicles making 800+... Where is it heading? Well you could think there's limits, or electric, well. Then there's me. Always a mile outside the box....
First kind of unrelated but something I've been thinking about a lot lately , aerodynamics has come a long way and been a big focus for decades now but often neglected or ignored because it can make vehicles not as beautiful to some, understandable. I think obviously besides wind tunnels and lots of R&D , Aircraft are often looked at for inspiration or downright copying because well, no one knows better. But what people ignore (in my opinion) is thrust/exhaust back pressure as a means to push the vehicle forward that ever so .05 seconds faster... But back to my main point of this post... The end for power/aero/ faster times on a heavier vehicle will almost certainly never stop (at least for some) while that's not me, I don't like a good idea go to waste...and really it's nothing new or totally unheard of, just something nobody would be willing to try or think about readily. So my idea was after seeing a turbo Harley motor do 220hp ,I wondered if I had two of those , one powering each wheel, it would be like 400DRhp but maybe less losses, I have ideas to join 2 8.8 rear ends and use a short axle between the two differentials to balance the difference of tire spin.
Which led me to believe well using a f250 frame, with two smaller motors in the rear(because my budget) if successful though it's possibly why not two coyote motors , each making 1500+ HP per wheel..... , With a turbo system thats intertwined ? Even. Making things take up less space overall... Any thoughts.
