He had enough money into the engine work, high perf. parts, and turbo alone that he could have bought a used busa...
No man, I'm the kind of person who have avery relaxed view upon any form of discussion and take difference in opinions lightly. Nothing too serious. Maybe I didn't get translated correctly through the 'interweb,

As for the 1000HP thing, I was referring to F1 engine's near 1000HP power from 2400cc N/A configuration, which is not achieved from a daily driver's engine parts. So, there's no way in making almost 4 times the power out of a displacement without being extremely expensive.

Not trying to be offensive to anyone, but if someone decided to do something and then complained about it, that person could be categorized as severely un-informed (some say : stupid)

7000 bucks is nothing compared to what he wanted to achieve. Look how much the F1 team spent

Therefore, being sensible. I'm only aiming for moderate numbers. Those that the original parts can sustain day-in day-out. nothing extreme (maybe because I'm getting old, hahahahahaha)
