Yeah, I'm not sure that is right.

They are nippy enough, but that is Formula 1 territory. The GTR with 550 bhp does 0-100 in about 6.3 seconds.

Even a race version won't be much lighter, and cooling problems may restrict power output in a race car - unlikely to be more than 700 bhp.

There is a 1000 bhp Ultima, but that has had problems, and I'm not sure it could do 0-120 in 4 seconds - mainly because of traction and gearchange constraints. Probably 0-100 in about 5.5, and then 0-120 in about 8.

Any real world owners like to comment?
