Does anyone know anything about this car? Where it's from, who built it, and more importantly a list of mods for the motor/drive train?
800hp is no friggin joke, and it's hard to believe even when seeing a video like this, there's always the chance of doctoring by someone so it's hard to know. Is this real? It looks and sounds great from what I can tell in the video... Imagine the traction problems with 800hp? Having traction problems alone on AWD means you're making an insane amount of power, but I can't imagine the kind of problem that kind of car would have!
Any info would be appreciated! I want to know what kind of engine, turbo, ECU, and tranny/diffs that it's using! Hell, I want to know what kind of brakes an 800hp subie runs!
Wow, that car is very impressive, and I love the fact that it looks fairly stockish, no crazy stickers or wings... 800hp and as sleeperish as an STi can look... lol

I'm not overly impressed with horsepower for the sake of horsepower. Cool but what good is it? To me it's almost like giant trucks with 2 wheel drive.
800hp is nothing to sneeze at considering the ESX car is what, 1000? But if it's a street driven car with 800hp, what's the point? Now if they're building it to test parts or run on the track then sweet, looking forward to seeing what it can do.

The point is to simply know that he has that kind of horsepower and torque at his command. Does it mean he'll use it? Not necessarily, but it's nice to have around, I'm sure. When a little M5 or AMG SL 65 blows past him acting like they're on the autobahn, he can simply reach out and reel them in like a little fish in a pond. Not much on the road can touch that level of performance, short of the $150k+ vehicles.
I think the first time he smacks down one of the exotics, when they get passed by a Subaru, and there's nothing they can do - the look on their face will be priceless.

So the purpose is for street racing?
Or are you talking about an ego boost??? Because that's pretty much my point.

don't forget about a liter bike... I'm sure that thing Is quick but a liter bike or a zx-14 etc would kill that thing, on the track of course as I would love to shoot anyone that tries something like that on the street.
