We could sure try hard!!

 

I duno, ask the guy at the following link.

Even with 470 HP it still weighs 6,000 lbs+. There is no way it will outrun a C5 as stated, or an L. Physics & gravity still apply, even with 470 HP. Please understand I'm impressed with this machine & it will surely scream, but it's HEAVY, & let's not even talk aerodynamics. Seems like a good deal however.

 

I heard that same argument about my truck from several chevy drivers.It just didnt hold up.(you know a bumblebee can't fly on paper)

 

It could if an African swallow migrated north to England with a bumblebee on paper.

Hehe... If it truely puts out what he says it does? Not a snowball's chance in he!!.

 

If that's 470 rwhp I would assume that it would easly kill a stock L.

 

I think that H.P. figure might be a bit inflated. I just did the math. A V-2 supercharger intercooled with a chip is good for about 60% (thats from Vortech) I know, because I have the V-2 on my Cobra without the intercooler and I got about 40%. So I'm being really generous here! Now, a stock 5.4 last I checked puts out 260 H.P. So add on 60% and you get 416 H.P. Now lets go and add 15 H.P. for the exhaust and a tune up and even throw in 5 more for an open air filter. So that leaves us with 450 h.p. if that! But lets not forget , that those ponies won't kick in until 5000-5500 rpm's!! Remember..were talking a "spool-up"supercharger! Little torque gains and progressive H.P. won't work that great on a 5000 lb +SUV. A lightning slightly modded will be half way down the track before this Expy starts to get into its zone! I'll keep my L, thankyou very much.

 

BTW.. I just re-read the specs on that Expy, and didn't see anything about it being intercooled! So unless it was not listed , it may be less than I thought.
