It would be great to have a total of all the horsepower that was at the event.

Do you guys think the numbers on this chart are HP numbers?
A couple of them seem a little too high, so I'm not sure.

No those hp numbers are right. There has been a few supra events that they have had some over the 1000 whp mark. So I don't doubt those figures. What the hell was that viper owner thinking...Did you see that wing? :yuk:

The 550 (and as of 2003, the 575M) Maranello is a 2-seater. The 550 has a 5.5L V12 with 485 hp and the 575M has a heavily reworked version of the 5.5 that is set at 5.75L that cranks out 515 hp. The 550 had the option of a conventional 6-speed box and the other choice of the 6-speed paddles. The 575M has a seriously improved F1 'box.


That event was at my home track San Antonio Raceway (that's actually in Seguin, TX).

I'm surprised John Carmack didn't show up to school everyone with his Turbo F50... although I'm sure he's moved onto an Enzo now.

What is that shiny plumbing on the other side of the engine?

Also, that turbo could quench the fires of hell itself by single-handedly starving it of oxygen.

To me it looks like an engine mount.
Kinda like extra one. Helping to engine mount during hard launch.
