Have they stated they were making E-cars?

No E-cars for 2010. We have started some things for the 2011 though! Looking forward to see how much power we can get out of the 5.0!!

Thank you
Jess

Good to hear Jess! We are looking forward to these new developments!

As Mike (mikebna) had mentioned, MJ Acquisitions / Saleen Performance Vehicles brought the production/machining of the twin-screws in-house. Did MJA/SPV redesign the propeller/lobes for the Series 6.5 or are these in-house screws similar to the ones previously used in the original Series VI?

Any added benefits? Either way?

Good question jdivad. From my past questions I believe they claim to, but how could we even tell?

Since they were to keep the s281 nomenclature....2011 being s302 I figured they would bring back the E car.

The screws right now remain the Lysholm 2.3 twin screw. In development we have a few different screw designs that are being tested. When we do put them into production they will not be exactly the same as the current ones, we will release the differences at that time. I can tell you that it will be a while before we have them in production for the the VI.5 because of the current inventory of the Lysholm screws. There is really nothing wrong with these current screws, just going forward we are looking at any way possible to take manufacturing in house to be able to fully control quality.

Thank you
Jess

To answer this, I would just say that we wouldn't have invested in 2 $750,000+ machines if there were no benefits!

Thank you

^Quite the cost. I wish things were a little more affordable in the world of twin screw superchargers. I know Saleen offers a good one that is a little cheaper than a tvs e force, whipple or kb.
