    Well, if that's the most powerful, I should be at least 150bhp more by this time next year, which should easily make up for the extra weight.

    It would explain the need for an AWD box.
    The peril's power came in one huge, uncontrollable lump from what I've read. All that grunt through the front wheels is just gonna lead to a big cloud of smoke.

    My old boss Jeff Seddon owns big dub the twin engined vr6 turbo beast.
    That's running over 800bhp & I will never go in a car that fast ever again.
    Very clever on the gear linkages etc & hydraulic clutch mechanism. I never understood why the rear engine bump started though.
    I'll never forget the change up on full boost in 3rd to 4th, felt like a smack it the back of the head when the bov went off behind my ear.
    Awesome Colin, really looking forward to seeing this!!
    Twin engined & both engines twin charged?

    591 bhp was done with one engine and a turbo, so having two engines that are turbocharged and supercharged doesn't count.
