I have heard of over tiring a car... first time I have heard of over
engineing a car... 900 hp in a golf is a rediculous waste... you cant even
get that power to the ground for any use...

Has anyone seen the new Sport Compact Car article on the Swedish, street
driven awd 20v audi powered golf with a claimed 900 hp? I was struck
with the pure lunacy of such a vehicle. The cost is an equally sick
$500k! This car has 10 800 cc/min injectors, 4.5 inch exhaust that exits
in front of the rear wheel, a titanium turbo running 45 psi and has been
lightened to ~2000 lbs. I thought some of you folks might be interested
in this thing. It is in the october issue.
