2500 hp!!!!! Holy Crap. I have a hard enough time holding onto the 98hp in my 510.

Some of these stats seem a little based on mathematics and not in reality

Crazy stats said: TOP SPEED = 375 MPH+ WITH 118 OCTANE RACING FUEL, WITH IAD AERODYNAMIC MODIFICATIONS LIMITED TO 305 MPH, WITH REAR WING ATTACHED, GASOLINE/METHANOL FUEL MIX 0-60 MPH = 2.5 SECONDS 0-150 MPH = 6.7 SECONDS 0-250 MPH = 17.5 SECONDS 1/4 MILE = 9.0 SECONDS 1/4 MILE SPEED = 178 MPH ZERO TO 150 MPH AND BACK TO ZERO = 8.7 BRAKING: 250 MPH TO ZERO IN 8.5 SECONDS

Love the pictures of the engine. LOL!!!!

Easy to make claims when there's almost no way to check them, isn't it? E-

2500 hp, good for two quarter mile runs before needing a full overhaul?

Yeah, he's on crack. 345 Pilots have a hard time holding down 500HP, 2500HP would annihilate them. Also any drag racer can tell you that a simple calculator will prove him wrong.

They claim 2500HP and 1700Lbs. Add 200Lbs for driver/fuel and take out 500HP for drivetrain loss and it would still do a 5.7@238, which is way faster then the claimed 9.0@178. In fact this car @1900Lbs race weight would only need a paltry 836HP to do a 9.0@178.

So either it has only 800HP (sounds reasonable for 381ci and twin 88mm turbos) or it goes 5's.
