[Turbo C-Ya]

Remember that video I posted of a BONE STOCK Mercedes S600 doing 12.4 on the 1/4 miles? Well the owner has another car, a 1000hp Viper. Here it is laying it to another Viper...

I was thinking the same thing. It's quick no doubt but I think it should be much quicker for 1000hp.

With a T78 and spray i am pretty sure that kenwood is making a more than 1/2 the power that car is making. ( I saw all motor dyno graphs of over 600 for ken's car off the spray)

There are 770 rwhp 6 speed supras with top end gearing, capible of 200 plus mph speeds, running high 9's. This is with an excellent driver behind the wheel.

With that much power, gearing, traction, and driving all come in to play.

Driving a 1000 rwhp car is a LOT harder than some of you may think. Many of these cars are not purpose built 1/4 mile cars. Many are capible of running the mile (what the big boys run) and even on road racing courses.

Whatching some of you behind the wheel of that car would be amusing to say the least.

Not trying to flame anyone here, just maybe suggesting that some of you think before you are so quick to judge.
