Here is some onboard footage from Stan's 1916 supercharged open wheeler special at a recent hillclimb at Grafton Sporting Car Clubs Mountain View complex.

Gee Wizz that sound makes me want a super charger...

Bloody wicked stuff hey. Sounds great!

FAST doesn't do it justice... that's awesome !!!

sounds tuff as nails,looks like it doing so easy.good onya stan.

Now that looks like fun. Beautiful sound

beat me to it!!! awesome stuff, the sound of that thing in real life is awesome, that thing has so much power you drop the clutch and wait and then tromp it on the throttle and watch the wheels spin, plus that thing revs like a motorbike... awesome

Sounds good.........

never competed in a hill climb or driven a high powered open wheeler, but watching that vid, I am surprised how little the throttle is used?? or is that the warm up lap?

Cheers

Paul

I'd like to see the result of 600HP used consistantly on a hillclimb...

Never heard a supercharged engine sound like that!!

while we are looking at VW supercharged open wheeler vids, found a couple of Peter Gumely's type 4 powered machine........fast enough for 11 wins of the outright title in NSW hillclimb championship ..........certainly one thing in common with these 2 cars is you don't really appreciate the pace of them until you talk to their owners and know exactly what km/h the gears they are using run out too.......

i believe peter hits 200km/h before the top of the hill at fairburn................the 0-100km/h time is just silly, i'll find out exactly what it is before i post it up

Cheers Paul its a tight track, not very many places where an open wheeler can open it up.

That is awesome can someone let me know when it is running next. I am just down the road from Stan at Moonee and would love to see that thing at full noise. Cheers Jukka
