Hmmm interesting, now all they have to do is put some nice looking wheels on to compliment the car.

Impressive numbers, but at least they could have made the pipings much better. Right now, it's not symmetrical, which sucks because a $150k car deserves a very nice looking set. :-/

impressive none the less.

I think the 1000hp is at the crank.

Me too, but is that enough to make a 168 hp difference?

I have no idea what the transmission loss on a car like this is.
