Those claims are quite lofty... With Project Vengenace 640 (V6) pretty much done at 0-60 in 3.0 seconds completed I moved on to the Incubus 700 (V8) and at 690Hp it does NOT turn 2.8 0-60 nor 10 seconds on the quarter....
To achieve that, it needs to shed another 200lbs or so. It's a nice "promotional" video. Powerwise it's comparable to Lister and they have higher numbers (0-60 in 3.2)

Why on the video I commented asking to see the quarter mile slip, they said ran a 10.8's in a previous project car, but no time slip and not at a drag strip, so I don't believe it, show me the timeslip I say.
Told them bring it to Santa Pod drag strip in the UK as I know its not so far from them and that they can race me. See how their supposedly 700HP compares to my stock SVR which I've ran a PB of 11.1@126 in at santa pod drag strip.
Though I am hoping for a 10.9999999s run next year, my plan to get this is slightly stickier tyres by switching to michelin cup 2's as my mates with GTR's found these shaved a tenth of 60ft time compared to PS4's, so hoping for similar, shall also remove the rear SVR wing to get car as slippery as possible, doubt it will make any difference and maybe remove passenger seat, plus some nice February cold air and maybe that can just pull me into the very high tens.
A sister car to mine (client) was taken on the dragstrip, while with 630hp on a lightened AWD V6 it pulled this (Canada, KPH). Personally I don't like the idea of the 1/4 mile because it's a very narrow part of what an F-Type can do so I have not taken mine to a dragstrip ever. 10 seconds would be an amazing accomplishment at 700hp and a heavy R AWD

Wow, that is a truly amazing timeslip. The trap speed is the most impressive - that's around 135 mph for all the imperial people .
I think the fastest we've seen on this forum was Philly Single with a RWD V8S using drag radials, a 70-shot, etc. He did manage a 0-60 in 2.8 seconds though (timed using a vbox). How much weight has your client managed to drop btw?
The Viezu car has carbon fibre wheels, guess they might have done some other weight saving measures as well.

All of our cars have lightweight forged wheels (17.8 to 19.9 lbs), Another 157lbs was dropped by replacing nearly every steel subframe/bracing with aluminum and 2 piece rotors. The car starts off at 3732lbs dry vs. 3814 for the R version.
If you are familiar with the speeds in each gear you can see/hear how it actually moves from this video

That bloody moves well! Love how aggressive it bounces and launches.
These aluminum subframe bracing, thats a big weight saving, where can one buy this stuff as thats a damn nice bit of weight to save.
The Mustang reads a bit high but still significantly more than a 5.0 SVR. Very impressive.
Actually that model Mustang, maybe because of the setup, reads lower than a DynoJet.
Thank you for supporting a discussion based on Wheel power. Too many people get scammed with adjusted flywheel power gains when in reality without a baseline under replicable conditions and using unadjusted readings they can easily believe in greater gains than actual. A stock SVR on that Dyno comes to 483WHP, I just tested one before working on it last week

Working on an SVR?
What did you get out of it out of interest?
Also these lightweight aluminum bracing components, any update on those I'd be very happy to shave 157lbs from my SVR if at all possible, I thought I'd gone as far as I could go with the lipo battery and 2PC rotors, as I don't want to touch interior or move away from factory wheels or body panels I dismissed I could not reduce weight any further.

Custom parts such as wheels, subframe parts, control arms, sway bars etc. are not for retail sale, they are part of full car upgrade packages. $ for Lbs the battery isn't that high on the list but in the weight saving, many small things also factor in from items such as titanium connecting rods and lighter pistons to 52lbs saved just from swapping wheels and tires. Nothing is removed from the inside of the car, stripping the car would be a sacrilege, but if oe wanted, the seats are very heavy, they can be swapped, the rear glass can be replaced with Lexan. At that point however, the F-Type is not what I like it to be and many of my clients.
Does anyone know which pulleys they changed? I'm wondering whether it makes more sense to install the 62mm upper pulley (along with my 177mm crank pulley) and spin the supercharger at ~18,600 RPM at 6,500 crank RPM or whether I should get the TCU tuned to shift in auto at 7,000 RPM (supercharger would then spin at 19,100 RPM) and keep the stock upper pulley.
Please correct if my pulley diameters are wrong, I believe the stock crank pulley is 159mm and the upper pulley is 65mm (62mm on the V6).
I believe there could be issues with the fueling and ignition systems with both the upper and lower pullies fitted so curious if Viezu made any further changes. The smaller upper pulley would also shift some torque earlier but not sure a RWD V8 really needs that
