Uh. Wow.
Just to clarify, that is rear wheel horsepower.

Pfft. No torque curve.  
Fuel starts to run out near the end.
Where'd you get that, Ian? |

I can't even fathom hitting the loud pedal and feeling that much power.
I wonder if they work on thirdgens...  |

Can't imagine that much grunt.

| It seemed like he was losing traction on the shifts, causing the spins. I'd like to see video of the flip. Possibly if he lost traction and spun, then air got under the car and it flipped. |

Losing traction during a shift at speed probably turned him around backwards, air got under the car, and up he goes. No roof flaps like NASCAR to keep him on the ground.

Supposedly there were some pretty decent cross winds during his run and when he pulled the 'chute it was too short and upset the rearend enough to spin him around. Hit the grass at ~103mph and went end over end. Crazy stuff. |
