that car is pure sickness! 900bhp out of a small displacement engine is surely laggy, but it didn't sound particularly laggy at all.

lots of money, to be sure. start with an already expensive car, then all the mods needed to boost 2.5 bars (stock is 1.1 bars), on bigger turbos to boot, and then those finicky old-skool Ferrari V8s...I'd be terrified to map such a car!

But with the car weighing only 1100kg, christ almighty. 900bhp in a fat-assed Skyline is scary quick as it is...that power in a car nearly as light as an MX-5, lose the rear and you're knocking on the pearly gates!

I was wondering just how much it costs to modify!!! I think it could be a tad more expensive than a GTR!!!

The F40 race cars (LM & LM GTE) were running 720bhp already, at 1.5 BAR IIRC. I don't think it'll take much more than slightly larger turbo's and a bit more boost to get to 900.

Still nothing short of crazy. 900bhp, 1050KGs...

I was gonna say - I would NEVER EVER run my car in positive boost on a road like that. Never.

"but you're that dangerous street racer chav!"

I only run boost on my car when I have at least three lanes on my side - so I have at least a couple exit paths in case something goes terribly wrong.. One lane like that is definitely irresponsible.
