HAHA. On the topic though, have you tried racing that thing on a circuit (in GT3)? It gets beaten by any decent car.

lol. That car is really pathetic on the track. Really good on the very large oval. I think I got mine up to 477.9 kmph

Heh, not quite. It's closer to 1400lbs-ft on average. Cummins highest-output diesel six is rated at 450hp/1450tq.

5000 could pretty much counter-rotate the planet
