Sorry..I should have been a bit clearer. It seems like there are several versions of the RTurbo, so I thought maybe there were also several versions of the RT12 such as 550, 590 or 650 hp variations. I was just wondering which one was yours. Sorry, I don't know too much about the RT12 in general especially not yours so hence the question.

oh, sorry about that... i have the 650HP version. both Road and Track and Autobild have tested representative 650HP cars (R&T has an article on a RWD car, Autobild recently tested an AWD car). here's the R&T article:

The R Turbo is FAST, the way the Rt12 catches it is just amazing.

Wow,

JV and Adam. These are incredible runs. At those speeds, you must out-run your head-lights readily.

Puts my humble BTR in it's place, way down the totum pole.

Thanks for sharing. You guys are my hero.

that was more from sheer FRIGHT than anything else!

it was PITCH BLACK out, and the fog that night was something else! i've never seen fog that thick (well, it doesn't get very foggy at all where I live). Its no joke tearing along at those speeds, only to suddenly have zero visibility. we were lucky that Adam found that short stretch that allowed us to do those two runs.

even without the fog, it was so dark that as long as we were following behind Adam, the glow of his tail lights in the distance, plus the knowledge that he knows those roads like the back of his hand was reassuring. but when we finally overtook him, it was like we were driving on faith that there was still road ahead of us!
