they sould have called it a syclone

Big in the rear
its a twin turbo, 427, AWD sanoma. 750 hp and a 1/4 mile at 10.9 sec and 0-60 in 2.8 sec to bad they want like 150,000 for the thing. the people at linginfilter could only be the ones.

all that, and for less then 20k the canadians went conciderably faster in a very un-assuming truck.

worth the hassle? riiiiigggghhhhtttt....

Yup, there were more than one truck at teh nats that could have taken that thing.
For I'd say 1/8 the cost.

An all out engineering and technological feat is an understatement, but there was no R&D, just throw it all together everything built ot the hilt.
Now its broken... Wonder how many miles were on the build.
$1xx,xxx??? I dun thin' so

Is it just me, or does anyone else think 750 horses should make that truck put out better than 10.9's???

uh huh...
brand new Sept Car & Driver put together something called the 10,000HP Challenge

15 Supercars worth $1.9 Billion Do Battle.
They pitted this truck against:
Viper 750
996Twin Turbo
Hennessey's Venom 800 TT viper
Ling. TT Vette stage 2
Mallet 435 vette
and others I never heard of...

TT Sonoma was able to lay down a 10.6 @ 135mph, and that was a printed timeslip, no handwritten shit
Numbers they through out:
0-60 in 2.8
1/4 in 10.6 @ 135mph
700HP@5000rpm
650lb-ft@4700
427 Twin Turbo (Garret turbos, A/A)
Rossler modded 4L60-E - someone call these guys
Denali AWD
3831 pounds
$137,027

Says they tranny gave way when they went to the road course...

It's a rossler 4l80-E as I recall...I remember Hartman doing a write up on the particular build about a year ago. Seems that the oil was flowing to the back of the tranny during hard launches / manuevering causing a "dry" situation. Apparently they haven't worked through those issues yet. Lingenfelter is a smart man with his TT V-8's...

But everybody is correct...the Canadians accomplished the same thing with a relatively stock truck, $5000 in parts, ohhh...and a relatively stock 12 year old truck...(did I say that already?)

He did 135 mph in that thing, even hoovers truck doesn't mph like that and the sonoma had street tires , not drag radials, and how much boost were they running? Let them run 26lbs with drag radials and a working tranny and see what happens.

There was only one truck faster at the nats according to what was put up on this board, hoovers truck. The canadians are quick , but the sonoma almost went 10 mph faster in the quarter, that is flying. And the sonoma was running pump gas right, and low boost. I also thought hoover had 80,000 in his truck.

I bet Robert in Sweden didn't spend $137,000 on his Sy and he is running faster then L Sonoma :rofl:

like i said before, roberts truck runs good tires to get those times, the sonoma had street tires. Put some slicks on that sonoma and see what it will do. :D

I understand that, but as i sad in my last post: Robert did NOT spend $137,000 on his truck to get it to run mid 10's.

And in my oppinion, a twin turbo bigblock in a S-10 truck should get better times then that anyway, compare to Roberts V6 single turbo. Even with bad 60" the Sonoma should pull like crazy after he got traction. Think about the torque in that TT bigblock.

Also roberts motor is a bowtie block stroker motor , that is no slouch, it may not be a stroked ls1 , does anyone know how much boost they are running, i am sure that with slicks and a good tranny that sonoma could run 9s , look at the trap speed with jusr regular street tires


Lets say they are only running 10 lbs of boost and pump gas, what do think roberts truck or hoovers would run like that.

A nuclear explosion :lol: Very few big-cube small blocks run on low enough compression for boost anywhere near that. Don't know the specs on this particular one but my guess is that it was probably somewhere near 10 lbs, which is probably also close to the max it could handle.

We LS1 guys rarely top 10 lbs of boost, even with low compression...most people run 5 or 6.

I am sure lingenfelter lowered the copression, and what do you mean very few big small blocks run low enough copression , you can build the motor any way you like, especially lingenfelter.
I have seen big block twin turbo motors running 30lbs or more boost.
What do think there are no ls1 owners on this board , i have 2 of them , 3 if you include the 6 liter truck.
What compression and boost is rob raymer running? 9.80-9.90 with 20lbs

well there is no way lingenfelter had anywhere close to that $ in the car.. People probably sponsored him half the stuff for advertising and they just threw it together to be cool. You also have to remember that most people in syclones dont drive around with C16 in every tank of gas, and spend over a year tuning for every last hp..

My hat definately goes off to Nolan, Tony and crew but for people to sit here and make sytys the only cool car/truck on the road is rediculous. 10's is not an easy feat. Just ask anyone who has done it. For those who are attempting to build a 10sec truck you will soon find out how difficult it is and how much money it *really* takes.

if only this was clear to so many others...it gets really expensive to get it done right...
