The secrets behind the Torq GT
Ladies and Gentlemen, Boys and Girls: Torquenstein is one of the participants with a 500+ horsepower, turbocharged, black GT40. He had a viper Venom in 2004, but was running 130 mph over a slight bump and the Viper lost control. It is great for flat track racing, but the Viper is not great on rally racing. He is totally focused on getting across the finish line first. His co-pilot, Eric von Mad Maxx, has the same objective. These two guys are hungry and well prepared to challenge the other 120 plus racers. Some competitive vehicles are Maserati, Ferrari, Audi, BMW, Koenigsegg, Lamborgihini etc. And of course, they are all high powered. Do you wonder if they have the kind of protection Torquenstein has? Read the secrets about the Torq GT.
As you can see on the picture above, the rear of the GT40 has been opened. Clay Watson is looking at all products installed. The previous shop that installed much of the extra hardware had loose wires all over the place, cables near hot surfaces. There would have been product failure, if Clay had not found these problems. When the GT40 is doing 140mph, you can not afford electrical problems and product failure. Look at the rear license plate. On the rear of the GT40 is a Blinder M20 Laser Jammer, Lidatek LE30 Laser Jammer, digital camera, VF2 Photo Jammer. If a laser gun is used from the rear, there is no way to get the vehicle speed. If the GT40 goes through a photo speed trap, to bad, so sad, there is no way to get the photograph of the rear license plate on the GT40. You can see where the license plate has been jammed from the camera.
The GT40 has a variety of products to protect Torquenstein and his co-pilot, Eric von Mad Maxx. The cockpit has GPS, CB Radio, Siren, high intensity, blue/amber strobe lights installed, forward laser jamming, rear laser jamming, rear photo jamming, front and rear radar detection, 100% RDD invisibility. The seats have 5 point safety harness and holds the driver and co-pilot very well for high speed driving.
The engine has a 5.4L, 500+ turbocharged, horsepower. Combine this with a superb suspension and Torquenstein should fly down the highway.
Clay Watson of Kustom Kar Audio is lying upside down in the right hand side of the GT40 cockpit (left picture). Both seats were removed so he could get at wiring problems. He found cabling that was miswired, caused by a previous installation. There were a lot of loose wires from various products installed around the vehicle, wires on hot surface that would fail at high speed. Fixed.
