It's my understanding that it will actually not produce the current 1001 hp everyone is talking about?

I don't know of anyone who has put one on a dyno yet.

I've seen it in person and it looks better live than in the photos.

it has a seven speed tranny and from what i've read last year, they were having problems w/ the gears holding up to the power... they called it a "teeth salad" from what the hp was doing to the tranny

Taking it and driving it might be two different things. The cost was $862,000.00 when the order was placed. Auto Salon Singen will consign it @ 1.3 M.
