Ok, i just picked up an issue of super sport and it has a skyline that was pushing "1320"hp using a twin gt3540 setup. It was an 8 second 1/4 mile car. Can this be so?!

I don't think a 3540 is big enough, even in a twin setup to make 1300hp on a 3 rotor

Yeah hard to tell, maybe the twin setup would work if you could fit it all under the hood.

I'm dissapointed, because if you learned anything from TFATF, you'd know that a hood isn't needed for a daily driven 1300HP+ car. Oh the shame...
