I think 570 RWHP isn't too conservative. To be honest it actually sounds unsafe. My VR4 has about 470hp (not sure on the exact number) and i can't really say I want more and that's in an AWD car. That Supra must be terribly tail happy.
Now thats expensive!

Oh dont get me wrong, I mean conservative in the way its been mapped, as its capable of flowing much more power. Ive driven a massive array of cars, including many Ferraris and Porsches, and that thing is one of only a handful of cars that scares the hell out of me.

At a local drag strip, the car almost went sideways at the 1/8th mile marker when WOT was applied. Ive also been in it on the motorway in 5th gear at 80mph, and again at full throttle itll try and spin the car. Hes just invested in some race-logic traction control though, so it should run a lot smoother when thats fitted. Ill try and get some pics/footage at our next trackday.
