2500hp??? What in the hell? you know, I am going to say something here that is going to make some of you hate me, as you know I design, test and draw/sculpt breath live eat and sleep cars and have done so for quite a few years.... there is a limit as to what you will call "safe and usable" horse power for the street, frankly having had the pleasure of driving 600+ bhp cars before I believe usable horsepower should be left at a maximum 450bhp, now don't get me wrong, a Supra or a built skyline is fun in a track... not so fun when you are on the street and all that power wants to make the car turn sideways while you want to go straight... and what about when you lose traction in a rainy day, you will beg to be in a sub 450 horse car, I have had a 770bhp supra let loose while doing 80mph and simply feel my balls shrink as I pray for a miracle, now are you serious? 2500? how in the world would that even be possible? no amount of tuning or brakes are gonna be able to tame that beast you will be a dead man, that thing will get airborne and hit something, you only need like 500bhp to lift the front end in a heavy ass muscle car, I imagine this thing to be pretty light, my answer is no, I wouldn't want one even if it was free, I much rather stay alive

Calm down grandpa, the most powerful car I've driven was a Gemballa GT750 and it was very easy to manage. I would say that 2.5kbhp is certainly needless on the street but that doesn't mean that the car isn't entirely driveable.

firstly they need to prove that it's even making 2500hp, nelson racing also had a huge power mosler apperently it lasted for few minutes before blowing up.
