Yeah that car is cool. Even norwegeans know how to get down. Lol. Funny thing is there are plenty of 500+ displacement bbc out there that make 1200+ hp naturally aspirated let alone boosted.

^ yeah. this is a differn't setup for fast though. They are talking about a car that goes that fast on a road course that is limited in size. Put that car on the back stretch of lemans and it could go 300mph I bet.

Wish the guy attempted to put some better aero on that car - probably pick up 20mph as is...

gearing will be your limiting factor, the aerodynamics, they could flip flop, but even if the other birds out there had more hp, doesnt mean they will compete for top speed... faster quarter or 8th is what i am assuming you are talking about
