Props to dude for the "rolling with one-hand on the steering wheel" LOL, like he's cruising the strip.

Pay attention to the fly-bye at the end. Absolutely Insanity!!!

YOU BEAST YOU!

I still say this is the MOST incredible supercar produced by America.

Very Nice video. It's kinda scary driving a car with that much power.

Cool video. Thanks for sharing. Thats amazing power for a driver to have to shift carefully to avoid wheel spin at 100 mph. CRAZY!!!

I know it was limited to 205 mph. So taking off the limiter = a modification.

And if its a stock engine and it can go to 253 mph, it honestly puts the Veyron to shame.

If I'm not mistaken this car is making @ 1,400hp! I'd say its been slightly modded.
Did ya'll notice how effortlessly it hit that speed? It seemed it had a lot more to go!

There are stock motor'd GT's that have seen over well 1000 rwhp with twins and 900+ rwh with a big whipple and not be stressed or near taxed, not to say this one wasnt. But they come fully forged from the factory and can take alot of huff in stock form. Shelby GT500's share the same motors almost with the difference bieng the GT500 come with an iron block and non dry sump oiling systems to save costs, and there are plenty of those pounding out 900hp with a big whipple and well over 1000hp on twins on stock internals with dedicated fuel systems. So i wouldnt be suprised in the least if this one was running stock internals. Check out the 1500 rwhp Dyno Vid i posted above.
