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?

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