Talk:Weineck Cobra Limited Edition

Hi

I prepared this article. I want your help to expand it. It would be nice to add more technical data. With respect, the son of the nomadic warriors, Deliogul 11:35, 12 June 2006 (UTC)

• This website gives some more details of the car in question: http://www.pistonheads.com/gassing/topic.asp?f=23&t=300660 I'd like to know though how fast will it go flat out. No doubt it's faster than a Bugatti Veryon. Also, maybe a picture wouldn't go astray either.

A Problem With Torque

Does anyone else see an impossibility with this car's torque rating? I was just reading about it in Supercar Magazine and noticed a discrepancy.

12.9 liters is 780 cubic inches... evident, of course. Now, even the MOST highly tuned race car engines dont make more than 1.5 ft/lbs per in³; therefore, even assuming this was tuned as highly as the most highly tuned race engines, it would very, very doubtfully make more than 1200 ft/lbs of torque. 1297 is ludicrous. To be honest, I see the figure approaching 1000 ft/lbs, which is altogether much more realistic.

• In fact, after doing a bit of research on the Weineck website at [1], I find that the most powerful engine made by the company produces 1450NM, which is roughly equivalent to 1070 ft/lbs of torque. Im going to make the proper changes after doing more research to be sure... and will add more to this page tomorrow. Gotta love automobiles!

• It really does have 1760Nm of torque, the numbers you pointed at are from their regular Cobra's, while the 780 is a limited edition. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 83.101.13.220 (talk) 08:52, 27 August 2010 (UTC)

Will be upgrading this article for "practice" before moving onto others, hopefully bringing it to a higher standard, and adding references for all material. —Preceding unsigned comment added by PbZep (talk • contribs) 05:47, 8 October 2009 (UTC)
