    If you check the video the answer would be it doesn't that easy! It's slow to start and spins its wheels on higher speeds as well!

    Yeah, I'm sure the owner was feeling the serious lack of power earlier!

    I honestly don't feel like most people even realize how difficult it is to take such huge HP numbers and translate that to USABLE performance in a vehicle (especially a 2WD drivetrain)... much less more! Yea bragging rights for sure, yea it has the potential to smoke a lot of cars but if you cannot control the car or keep the power down on the ground, it is essentially pointless other than bragging a number For some that is what its about... but personally if I am going to own a car that makes MONSTROUS power like that, it's gonna be either a drift car (read: designed to spin the wheels on command with the accompanying radical suspension setup not really designed for street usage) or a seriously dialed in chassis that will actually keep the power down and hook up.

    I wonder how many forum members have driven a car that when in 4th or 5th gear at speed will rip the tires out from under them at a sneeze... it can be wholly satisfying and extremely scary at the same time In terms of fast, it doesn't really make you any faster, a lot of times it makes you slower and takes a much much more skilled driver behind the wheel to eek out the performance gains over another car that has been built to be properly balanced in terms of total weight, weight distribution, handling, total power and the way the power develops across the RPM band.
