i dont think so........... they need a better dyno platform if its still spining the tires with 6 people standing on the car, then something is wrong there. yet i still think those numbers are not true.

thats a big turbo and probably a very well built motor, but it is a little hard to believe 688 whp, is it like 85 mm bore?

thats why i said i dont think the numbers are true. its just to hard to believe. my next theory/question is how fast will that tranny break, not even a pass down the track? ^^^^^^^ siad they broke it at the line so did they even get to burnout before it broke, or did they jsut stage it and it broke on launch?

they did a burnout and broke an axle, right after they fixed it they broke the driverside.

since they were spinning on the dyno they didn't get very accurate readings.
