I got love for the 787. Its one of my most favorite videos listening to that thing idle. But a turbocharged LS1 is good for 2000 HP and will probably make 1000 HP much more reliably than that rotary. Merely as a function of displacement.

yea the motor was N/A. you guys gotta put into consideration that the car was made to last 24 HOURS and have extremely great handling.the car is an all motor 2.6 litre with over 700HP. if they wanted it to be a drag car they wouldve definitely made it turbo and would definitely made like 1500hp and woulve probably made it weight like 1300 pounds. i seen 3 rotors in the over1000hp mark and they can barely keep them on a str8 line.
