HA!

You want horsepower? Then check this out:

It has a 3000hp V12 Merlin engine out of a Mustang fighter plane. And it's street legal!

2500RPM, horsepower varies depending on altitude (never hit 3000hp, but it was known to get to the mid 2500s)

It's a 27-litre V12 with a two stage supercharger.

It revs to 2600rpm, and it can hit 3000hp. Although, if it did, then the whole car whould probably twist itself in half

that chicane also has a 1200 HP. I like it more than that corvette. The vette is like a old model. did they used the original chasis or did they only used the out look of a vette?

another australian monster aka 'Donut Van' . not sure on its power output but it certainly is impressive 2 look at. i think it does the quater mile @ 13 secs but the driver/owner says ," I'll wipe anyone on the 1km dragstrip"

HAHAHA yes that van is driven by Robbie Bulger. He is an absolute nutcase

He also drives C.A.P.A.'s drift cars.
