Very impressive, and on 91 octane.
Did anyone catch this in the article:
It should also be pointed out that while those are the official numbers, peak power is actually closer to 735 hp. That's right, we're talking around 650 hp to the wheels.
If you take 735 X 82.5% = 606.38 RWHP
If you take 650/82.5 = 787.88 BHP
To get to 650 RWHP from 735 BHP you are assuming less than 12% loss
Fawk the math, still very impressive that you can take the V2 to the dragstrip and drive her home.
