Specifications
State of the art technology and parts have
been used to ensure the car will quickly become competitive and a threat to the
established order of Nitro Funny Cars currently running the quarter mile in
Europe.
|
Body |
A Carbon Fibre 2000 Chevrolet Camaro
replica.
|
|
Chassis |
Nobby Hills built 125 inch wheelbase chrome moly
chassis and featuring the latest US developments.
|
|
Engine |
500 cu in TFX Aluminium hemi block,
(approx 8000 cc) producing about 6000bhp.
|
|
Fuel
System |
A 30 gallon fuel tank supplies up to 90%
nitro methane / 10% methanol to fuel pumps capable of delivering over 60
gallons of fuel a minute @ 7000rpm.
A revolutionary new Nobby Hills built injector
system feeds fuel to the engine, consuming about 15 gallons of fuel during
the burnout and run.
|
|
Transmission |
Direct drive (no gears apart from forward
and reverse) via a sliding clutch controlled by a NHR CFI Unit*.
The clutch fuel and timing mechanism are a new design and have been
specifically built to meet the demands of Nobby Hills, taking into
consideration the demands of the UK, Europe and Scandinavia.
The team
believe that after testing has been completed, this new design will enable them to
enjoy a competitive advantage over the other European Nitro Funny Cars.
