Please god don't let this be yet another Top Gear Bugatti Top Speed thread. *lol* If that is the test from Top Gear with James May it's been posted to death in OT (like 4 times)

Actually, I think that is Rolex's goal since he is the one with the titanium rods and lightened rotating assembly - 10,000 rpm is going to be tough. The 1000 hp is the simple part......just waiting for ST to put up the dyno sheet.

That is pretty amazing especially as it's not like a super light special, it weighs something like 1900kgs! Although it does take it 4 of our engines to do it.

There is a local guy who plan to run his car in the silverstate classic , he is currently adding wheight to the car to make it stable at higher speed.
Btw They did a acceleration test for a magazine with this car and it did 223mph on a 1.1mile stretch (1800meters)
