I mean, getting all that power out of the engine is one thing, but making it reliable for years and years is another. It may be WAY cheaper than the Veyron, but if it needs a complete rebuilt every year, the costs can obviously run into the figures. Also, what about the transmission this G-car is using? If it's stock, how does it handle all the extra power? Or is it modified?

I'm just interested to know... don't wanna start another "Veyron vs. whatever other car bashing-thread", because we've had enough of those
LPE offer a full 36,000 mile warrenty for their 1000 hp twin turbo jobs they do. They veyron requires new plugs and wires every 3000 miles... among other additional "maintainence" during that same interval.
