The Smell of Horsepower: 1546rwhp Twin Turbo Viper

On one hand you have the big-cubes camp that chants, "theres no replacement for displacement." Then you have the boostaholics on the other hand that believe that displacement can be overcome by positive manifold pressure.

Fresh from diversity day training, user LEADING EDGE of Leading Edge Performance on TurboCulture forums shows us that the two camps can indeed live together. Eight liters, ten cylinders, and two turbochargers later we have an intimidating red snake that puts down more power than it can ever hope to fully harness. The only external visual cues that this viper is anything out of the ordinary are the huge binders up front, the intercooler hiding behind the front bumper, and the parachute mounted on the trunk lid.

holy shit

If I had that thing, I would probably just buy Goodyear so I didn't have to buy new rear tires every other day.

Probably. Would like to see this thing run the 1200hp supra and the 1700hp Monaro/GTO!!
