That's a sort of confusing car. It looks built to handle 1200 hp, something really serious, but then it 'just' has a 410 hp crate motor stuck in it. 410 hp sounds like a lot, but really, you don't need to build the rest of the car up like that to handle 410 hp.

I suspect it originally had some actual epic HP mill under the hood, and that motor exploded, and they jsut stuck a relatively cheap crate motor in it so it would be complete, and now they're trying to sell it off.

My 245's closing in on 400 hp (hopefully after the next round of modifications) and it's still got the 2.3L Volvo motor in it!
