It has two enormous blow-off valves on a single intake (even 800hp Supras make do with a single BOV). Look at those turbos - even if they were the largest hybrid turbos ever made (I don't think they are - based on the size of the hot side, either the turbos are T4's (way oversize) or T3's with small compressors) those external wastegates are far too large for that kind of exhaust flow.

It's a rolling joke, made to be outrageous, don't try to take it seriously

Well stated.

Let me add on , if I may.

This rolling monstrosity also had about 1000 pounds of stereo and electronic entertainment equipment thrown into it. After all....it was mainly funded by 5th Ave. an electronics company.

If these people were such great car customizers.......wouldn't you think they would have verified their ability to customize the PCM before they dumped a boatload of cash into building it?
