"The exact power output of the motor is unknown,
but John Hennessey tells FoxNews.com “2000 hp is a pretty safe bet.”

For comparison, the stock Ford GT with its supercharged version
of the engine put out 550 hp with 12 pounds of
boost and had a top speed of 205 mph.

Wait until you see and HEAR! the video.

New record of 257 MPH in Standing Mile and it runs in "street legal" class.
That ought to get the ice cream home before it melts, even in Texas.

These are the engines I occasionally get to take a spin with. My son uses them in the cars he builds.
