From October.

Switzer car (silver) had massive clutch slip and is running stock gearing.

Divexxtreme is correct, this was on the older Promax clutch, it was fighting clutch slip pretty bad and doesn't have the updates that Goliath II (StealthJ's GTR) had that went 180mph in the 1/4. Can't wait to get this one updated so they can really crank things up.

The Goliath HP rating might be a bit off. Not sure if Neil is talking about the car in the video or not. :dunno:

The Goliath I, the first Goliath that went out to Russia made just over 1500whp. We had limited time to test the currently available ProMax clutch to see if it would hold in the higher gears before we could send it over. The dyno never loads the cars the same as it does on the street so it was hard to tell. We had to turn it down to ~1400whp or so (calculated) to keep the clutches from slipping too much, but as you can see from the trans temp going into the red at 200mph, it was still slipping somewhat and producing heat.

For reference: E1K-X (1300+whp) < Goliath 1 (~1500whp) < Goliath II (1600+whp) < E2K (1700+whp, in testing) < E2K-X (1750+whp, also in testing).

The Goliath in the video would ET much better if it went on a diet and had a new clutch that we could throw some power to. No doubt about that.
