First time I've seen the bi-turbo conversion on a Challenge Stradale! Must be a really hot one: http://www.autoscout24.ch/AS24Web/Detail.aspx?lng=fra&wl=1&id=4649253 To be sell in Switzerland for 200kUSD
The bi-compressor kit is $55k installed. You can purchase it through us if you would like. All the other Novitec parts are available through our catalogs or on our website. From their catalog; On-site installation by two Novitec Germany technicians. Twin superchargers with independent oil system; modified and insulated air induction system; water-cooled intercoolers with water pumps and additional radiators; reinforced drive belts with dynamic tensioners; additional fuel injectors; reprogrammed Motronics & two Novitec Tectronic units, carbon air filter housing, hi-flow cats & exhaust manifolds. Conversion requires sport exhaust & Novitec or Challenge grill. 560hp, 415 ft-lbs torque. 3.8 second 0-60.
Assuming their 3.8 second 0-60 figure is accurate, its amazing to me that an increase in the CS's torque by almost 50% (and torque is what matters for low end acceleration) only improves the 0-60 time by .2 seconds over the stock 0-60 time of 4.0 seconds. Of course, the added HP and TQ would show up fiercely on the track where most driving is done at relatively high rpms. Nevertheless, it seems increasingly that mega bucks have to be spent ($55K in this case) to gain only marginal increases in low end acceleration (if that's what one desired).
that 0-60 time ic on a stock 360, not a CS..... Figure 3.5 sec 0-60 on a CS, tires become a limiting factor to get much better 0-60 times.
I don't think 0-60 times really matter compared to 1/4 mile times. I would like to know what the difference between a stock Stradale and a tuned one is in the quarter. I think this is the only way to tell the real advantages because then traction is less of a factor.
