broke Posted February 17, 2006 Report Posted February 17, 2006 (edited) They didn't have an exact size for this thing, but it's supposed to have TWO Sabertoothish cylinders on it. The questions and answers are vague in the thread, but it gives you a good idea of what the Banshee motor has evolved into for the drag crowd. This was liberated from PlanetSand.

tithead Posted February 17, 2006 Report Posted February 17, 2006 its called the caracal..looks fuckin mean. but can you imagine the cost on it?? 475140[/snapback] yeah, and the strength your wheely bars would need to be. Quote
super88_banshee Posted February 17, 2006 Report Posted February 17, 2006 yeah, and the strength your wheely bars would need to be. 475158[/snapback] That and the fact you'd have to bolt your F***ING hands to the bars to hang on! Quote
MudSlinger09 Posted February 17, 2006 Report Posted February 17, 2006 bet itd sound somthin wild Quote
broke Posted February 17, 2006 Author Report Posted February 17, 2006 its called the caracal..looks fuckin mean. but can you imagine the cost on it?? 475140[/snapback] It is definately mean. I have been following the project for a while now, but this was the first picture of it that I have seen. I bet they are looking at a minumum of $50,000 for the prototype. You should see the transmission it's going to take to stay together behind it. Quote

stuntmasta3o5 Posted February 18, 2006 Report Posted February 18, 2006 Dual Sabertooth Banshee vrs Turbo, Nos Hayabusa What kind of horse power do you think that thing will put out? Quote
Cotton eyed Joe Posted February 18, 2006 Report Posted February 18, 2006 Dual Sabertooth Banshee vrs Turbo, Nos Hayabusa What kind of horse power do you think that thing will put out? 475420[/snapback] I'd put up an estimated dyno chart of what I think it will do if I had the time today. Maybe tomorrow. Broke, I'd bet $50,000 for a prototype on that is close, if not cheap. Quote
broke Posted February 18, 2006 Author Report Posted February 18, 2006 Stan, yeah that was more of an educated guess. I know what Matoon is charging for their cases for other motors, the crank was a guess from other custom cranks, the cylinders are iffy depending on how much they differ from production Sabert(ee)th. The trans will probably be in the neighborhood of the one they are putting in the Turbo Busa powered monster. Most of the other parts will probably just be top shelf components that are being used in all the other fast quads. As far as Charlie's time invested in it, that ones hard to put a price on. Cool project. Quote
