Even a Charger with a stock engine can rule the road. Max mph of about 125 or over. But with that big air intake and a possible hemi to go with it that would increase the speed by about 50 mph.

Extra air, gas, and a turbo, with a good ECU yeah you could increase it drastically.

Extra air doesnt net you 50mph, neither does a turbo, and neither does an ECU. The only thing that will net you that extra 50 is gearing.

Not to mention that you never previously stated anything about a turbo. ;)

I dunno, I bet changing the Charger's ECU might add enough power to make you forget that it's carbeurated and never had one to begin with.

Is that the end of Jopuma? Being owned hard by his own words?

The Drama of NFSUnlimited, V2!

So what. I don't care if I get owned. It alows me to learn something from people who know stuff about cars.

Btw here is some real horsepower. (naaaahh)

Oh yeah here is what my dad drives. Just imagine it red with some rust on the part just below the back window. And since the carport fell on it and the Eagle it would have a peice of black rubber constantly hanging over the back fin.

Look at the top photo. That is a muscle car not an import. I was just showing one of my parents cars so I decided to show the other one as well.

Ahem, 125mph is nothing special, at all. My car can do more than 125 (it's limited to 125, and acceleration would take forever after 125, but nonetheless, 125 isn't something to brag about). Furthermore, Chargers are probably more likely capable of about 150mph (the aerodynamics kinda override the power). The Charger Daytona (the one with the same nosecone and wing as the Superbird) might be aerodynamically able to go faster (in Nascar trim they'd go faster than 200), but I'm not certain about that.

Oh, and the AMC Eagle, if it's anywhere near stock, isn't a muscle car. Muscle cars don't have 150hp (and most of them don't have inline sixes).

Jopuma, I suggest you just forget about cars altogether because you have no idea.

Jon, drewb and Hercubus have already OWN3D you enough, but just to add my own little bit and inform others:
That thing on the top of the engine is not just a 'big air intake'. It's a f@#%ing supercharger. :roll:

Just engage your brain before you say something ffs.

I think you're wrong. Why would they put a stock engine in it and then "probably" a fake supercharger :?
IMO it's a real engine with a real supercharger with 900 bhp. :P :P

I think that in The fast and the furious all the cars were actually fast,well that's what I've heard, but in the second one, all they did is paint job, and rims. The only car that had an aftermarket parts in the engine was S2000. It had some supercharger that didn't even made it faster then stock.

hmmmm all cars in fnf2 had engine mods but not the evo and eclipse.... the reason why the cars performance sucked, was bcs they had been, like i would say in finnish, "rääkättyjä"= they haven't had an easy life... meaning the owners broke their cars....

What's that supposed to mean. Cars are the only thing in life that I truly had a liking for and still do. Cars is the career I'm getting into and I even bought a $100 book for auto engineering.
