Nitrometh drinking 4 cyl drag'teg makes 4k bhp @ 55psi.
Don't swallow your teeth

To be fair, it's got about as much in common with an Integra as the Renault F1 car has with a Clio.

55psi of boost has to be fun.

The tuttle attempts a philosiphical stance(& fails to even spell it right)
Of course agreed,pretty much any competition car has virtually nothing in common,bar its name,to its street counterpart.It is damn impressive,imo,drag extremeism etc,shows a kind of purity of purpose.The car isn't a practical thing anymore,in the same way that haute couture isn't really practically wearable.
Just my 2 cents.

Turbo Lag???

You seem to sit quite close to the engine, with not much in between you and it. I would imagine it gets quite hot in there.

I would fancy sitting there if it went "pop"!!

Oh agreed, but most road based race cars have fairly strict rules regarding base engine/block changes, dimensions of car etc.

A rally car is a souped up road car.
A BTCC car usually has a similar wheel position and engine size.

This is half a V8 sitting in a drag chassis wearing a plastic shell to make it look like a car.
