Cool car for sure

But I love to play devils advocate so...

1300 hp on low boost so lets say 1600 on high boost

Giving you the bennefit of the doubt that means you've spent at least 350k to get a net output of 320 hp/L and 160 hp/cyl

Now in stating that, you could get 400 hp/L and 200 hp/cyl out of an evo for well under 100k with similar reliablity to your car.

I hope that extra 250k for a name is worth it

corvettes are whack compared to awd tt lambo's. Rwd cars are nice to add alot of hp if u plan on commiting suicide.

That's crazy. So was the camerman too scared to get any closer? Ha ha!




I don't blame him.

Mmm...... 400hp/L Evo won't have near the powerband of this Lambo; it'll be a lag monster until 6k rpms. Nor the aerodynamics and high speed stability. Not sure you can fit as much tire on the Evo either.

I could build a 400hp/L Busa for much less than your hypothetical Evo. However, keeping the front tire down below 150mph could be an issue

That is all.

Thinking about the cost of this maching must have clouded my thought process. It is a very cool car.

Lol pluss I just really want a ride

It used to spin through 3rd at 1016awhp. Now I have better tires, Penske adjustable coilovers all around, an entirely different front/rear torque split, and a Motec M880 so we can stage boost by gear. It should hook 1300+ infinitely better with the new set up than it did 1000 with the old.
