It is very impressive for the size engine it has and the power it makes. But like everyone says, everything that car raced was a roll. I know i saw a video were it lost to something with a big block that was trailered to the race. 900awhp is great and everything but Evos and STIs are known for being incredibly fast from a dig. If he doesn't pull off awesome numbers at the track or it starts falling apart then i say its gone to waste. But nice numbers anyways.

I'll be sure to go find a couple of 400HP LS1s and hand them their asses just for you, so that you can remember that no matter what you drive, there's someone else out there faster than you.

Power is power...I dont even want to know how much money is in that Evo because it is probably some rediculous amount. If you were to take that amount of money and put it into an Ls1 car is would be over for the Evo. Why would you even say "I'll be sure to go find a couple of 400HP LS1s and hand them their asses just for you, so that you can remember that no matter what you drive, there's someone else out there faster than you." It wouldnt even be a competition. Go find and Ls1 car wil 30K into it or w/e that Evo has into it and then start a race.
Its true that there will always be something faster then you but when your at 900whp there isnt much on the street thats going to be able to take you.

And the "Imagine an LS1 with 43 psi in boost" comments make me laugh. Go make one and then tell me how much it cost you. You dont need to boost an LS1 to make 900 freaking horsepower.

actually... Most owners will need boost or nitrous because I KNOW what it takes to make 900 horsepower on motor with an ls1/6/2/7/ C5-R and it is NOT easy.
Especially since our C5R should sit right at 900 hp on motor.... it is NOT cheap either.

Haha didnt even see that, yea man didnt know if you were just here to start a flame war or not but obviously thats not your intent so my bad. Also yea Bronco is right. to get 900 rwhp out of an ls1 your going to need boost or a hell of a lot of nitrous and a lot of cubes. Most 408's with good compression, large cam, and real good heads will make about 500+ rwhp, then its gonna take a lot of spray or boost to hit 900, def not going to hit it N/A. BTW im guessing you have an EVO so you should list your car and mods in your sig, like to see what type of setup your running.
