mmmmmm. not to be confused with the older CCR!

has a pair of these on it. superchargers that can spin at turbocharger rpm levels!

which interestingly enough is also used in the HKS 350z s/c kit.

That thing makes me want to sell myself on the street for extra cash to buy one. Anyone want to buy some crack? ;)

I guess I could always start using to help someone achieve their dream

Re: Koenigsegg ccx
 

The planetary geared supercharger is awesome! It's basically just like an automatic transmission... Very good idea. The new craze in forced performance. In the next few years a lot of people will start making crazy hp cars that will be untouchable with them!

Re: Koenigsegg ccx
 

within a few years. The enzo will just be another "supercar".

That is sweet.

It kinda is now.

Re: Koenigsegg ccx
 

you can't beat how that thing sounds.

Re: Koenigsegg ccx
 

The car is okay, nothing too special. Those rotrex merbobs are cool, but don't have anything on turbochargers.

Re: Koenigsegg ccx
 

Agreed 100%, Just look at top fuel Dragsters. They dont allow turbo's cause they produce way to much power.

Fuck that.

Bigass roots superchargers that stick out of the roof and impede view could never ever ever lose to a lousy little ass turbocharger. Havent any of you idiots seen the fast and the furious? Even the super duper orange supra could only keep up with the roots blowered car. And did you see how that muscle car hardly had any troubles flipping over? Just goes to show you how well built muscle cars were. If that were the supra for sure it would have been totalled. Turbochargers are for pussies. Pussies.

Errm, wrong forum. :)

Re: Koenigsegg ccx
 

Dont allow or just dont use turbos?
Those superchargers take massive amounts of power to turn. I dont know that you'd ever get a turbo that size spinning on one of those motors. I agree with the superiority of turbos, but you run into a certain size limit dictated by what you can spool without choking the motor. Superchargers dont suffer from that. They provide the power necessary to turn the supercharger early on in the powerband where its needed.

Re: Koenigsegg ccx
 

Turbochargers are Banned from the classes.

I read somewhere that they would make in excess of 12,000 horsepower if turbochargers were allowed.

Re: Koenigsegg ccx
 

Top fuel is limited to blowers. "Compression ratio is set conservatively at around 6:1, owing to the 54-psi boost of the SSI 14-71 supercharger, which is overdriven nearly 30 percent faster than engine speed." I would say the konig has to much power for what they are trying to do on that track. The Zonda with only 600hp ran 2 seconds faster, but in the straight line the konig owns, 195mph on the runway.

You have to remember that tires and downforce are a HUGE consideration when it comes to tracks. The list is sweet, and a good benchmark, but unless all cars have the same tire's on them, its not going to be entirely fair.

Re: Koenigsegg ccx
 

i seem to recall hearing they had like a 4:1 Cr and 150psi boost. oh well, one speed tranny for the win.

Re: Koenigsegg ccx
 

Well, if the tires on the car are what came on the car from the factory I would say it is plenty fair.
Thats like saying you cant have a fair comparison without having the same brand shocks in each vehicle.

Re: Koenigsegg ccx
 

I love how small that car is. Those doors were pretty cool too. Oh yeah, and it was pretty fast ;).
