Proof of this for 1,000hp? Do you know how hard it is to pull that kind of power out of a NSX motor?

I spoke with the owner afterwards, it was a single-turbo, rods/pistons, caged, 6-speed 2500ish lb car with driver.
And if I had to venture a guess, the Z06 was stock with exhaust and intake. Sorry, but you're wrong if you say otherwise. A modded Z06 wouldn't be passed like that by the NSX. Just saying.

Revs have only a small part in that. Properly tuning a vehicle with limited revs can make a huge difference. That's like saying it's cool to rev to 11k rshared_pm like all those B-series guys, if you're not really making any power up top, then whats the point?
And at the end of the day, it's still an overpriced honda.
