Dry sump tank in trunk?

[Vegas69]

I'm with Ron, it seems like a lot of expense and effort for no REAL gain in performance. This isn't Nascar guys. Sure you save a few lbs on the front end but you are adding more than a few to the overall. Also, your adding capacity and that means you really need more pump. Mike Maier is running a Nascar Nationwide engine. They likely have the dry sump in some low perfect place and an oil pump that would bilge the titanic.

Chris, I have to diagree with you on the similarity on the accumulator. It's a lot different in my mind.

Todd, I think Mike actually has the dry sump in the trunk of his car now. I think I spied it there over the weekend at Del Mar.

Here in Europe we have been putting tanks in the trunk for decades. Normal place in rally- and track cars.

In your case, how about useing hard line in next to fuel lines inthe chassic?

Another pro's is that more oil, loner time to get hot and will last longer good.

Hard to argue with the likes of Hannu Mikkola, Juha Kankkunen, Tommi Mäkinen or Marcus Grönholm....

LOL Our names are little different...

But we arent only winners in rallying.

European GT Champions with Orteca Vipers, Audi factory race cars and so on...

Kimis performance todays race was also great. Only if he had different tire strategy.

We also hold many NHRA drag racing world records

WRC those guys are race car drivers.

It hurts to admit but it's a French guy who has a mortal lock on that series. And with French cars

It's ok you're a Chevy guy they've never won there.

There is nothing bad to say about Mr. Loed than he will be in historybook.
He is the King. I humbly take my hat off.

Great example what you get when first class driver gets to develop a car from beginning. Has done that with every Citroens WRC-model.

Same happend with Makinen and Mitsubishi Evos.

French car? Well they are race cars, a global product.
I'll bet that not all parts have PSA (Peugeot Citroen Group) logo on them

The day that Chevy wins a carmakers World Championship in WRC, I'll burn my Ford and Mopars and tattoo a bowtie to my forhead.

Well I can beat that winning record still with a couple Finns:

7- and 11-time World Enduro Champions Kari Tiainen and Juha Salminen.

Salminen has cleaned the table also in US...
