I'm currently trying to set up a shoot with Stefan Klassen's Speedster (VX220 to us UK eejits), well last weekend while doing some 1/4 mile action he had a bit too much grip on launch and almost flipped the car, there's already a thread up in the VX section, but thought you guys might like to see it and maybe don't venture into the other sections, so here's the linky:-

She's running 609PS and rumour is currently around 780Nm of torque

Here's a vid of her on the rollers from the 609PS map:-

ETA - the early throttle blips are just them playing around - around the 2min mark the main power run is done and then some flame spitting fun afterwards

Also the car can supposedly rev out to 8800rpm now also with peak power in the mid 6000's...

For real as in what, if you mean did that really happen, then yes, without a doubt...
