Hoptro Devildog (1970)

48.5k Sm10684  11 months ago

My entry for the CAN-AM race challenge.

Basically a race where there’s no regulations on the cars. Manufacturers tried new ways to achieve better performing vehicles and this one is no exception.

FULL FLEX suspension

(Pat Pend.)
Full flex suspension is defined as any type of suspension where both ends of the spring are compressed. There are several ways to do this but my favorite way is done on this car with Full Flex (Pat Pend.) double wishbone suspension.

benefits
Full flex (Pat Pend.) suspension compresses the spring more than traditional suspension. This proves for a much more comfortable ride while still having stiffer suspension.

It almost eliminates body roll too, you don’t need a sway bar on this type of suspension.

downsides
Less travel
Slightly more weight

aerodynamics

The devildog (1970) takes a unique approach to downforce. Other cars have wings bolted directly to the body causing all the downforce to be added to the suspension via sprung weight. This causes unpredictable suspension stiffness at various speeds.

The devildog’s front splitter and rear wings are bolted right to the lower suspension arms making all of the weight unsprung. It’s the most direct way to add traction to the tires.

RAM-AIR

The ram air system on the Devildog takes the high velocity wind and sends it right into the 666ci V8 effectively acting like a supercharger.

specifications:

666ci (10.92L)
V8 OHV 2 valve/cylinder
Hemispherical head (hemi)
Cam-driven mechanical port fuel injection.
925hp @6000 rpm
1000bhp+ at full speed (est.)
1123 LB-FT torque @ 3800 rpm

5 speed automatic transaxle

    @MrSilverWolf you probably could’ve done it in the time it took to write those two comments but I guess we’re out of another moderator.

    Good luck on your endeavors <3

    @Sm10684 guys I’m ludicrously busy for like the next month or so, then after this training I’m doing now I’m gonna be focusing up not planting a 76 seat aircraft into the dirt, so don’t expect me to be doing anything here for a while, if I do it’s probably not gonna be moderating

    @Rattlesnake yeah I realize that but that was done for the sake of realism. IRL you can’t take any corners at 200 mph.

    @Sm10684 I'm fine with it being as is, but I would personally prefer it be a successor. if it's not, it's not a huge deal, but it would still be nice so I can see all the entries in one place.

    @Sm10684 this thing looks sick!
    You might try asking the mods to make it a successor for organizational purposes, but if you don’t it’s not a big deal.
