It's a race car. No such thing as overkill on a race car.

Typically dont the high horsepower guys usually go with one turbo rather than a twin turbo setup? My know it all car friend (recites what he reads in car and driver) said that twin turbos are the way to make most power. I always thought that if you wanted serious power, most tuners will go with a single larger turbo. I was going to argue that, but whats the sense in arguing something i dont really know to much about!

Also do both turbos on a TT setup spool at the same time, or do they kick in one after the other?

This car reminds me of the supercharged, twin turbo Gran National. With the turbos sticking out of the hood, it wasnt really a sleeper anymore however...

Hmm in my own little world a race car is defined that it can take turns and not just be used to drag race but that's what I think others may think something else and this could be the best "race car" in there own little world.
