Twin Turbos Blast the Ford GT up to 1,000 Horsepower
It looks like any everyday Ford GT, but John Hennessey says there's 1,000 horsepower under its rear deck. This is Hennessey Performance Engineering's twin-turbocharged GT1000 and it has just roared to life as if the gates to hell have blown open.

Time for some hyperbole. Blipping the throttle has it pivoting over its keel like it's been hit by a tsunami. The sound is so intense, the shockwaves could be used for CPR. This car has the power to move continents and disrupt the very rotation of the earth.

Then we drive it. And when the turbos hit it's as if the car has been grabbed by the gravitational pull of a black hole. Time, space and your facial features seem to warp into a frappe of subatomic particles.

Four full digits' worth of power — it's the sort of thing that gives insanity a good name.

You have absoloutley no idea what your talking about. Btw, this car went up against other modded cars (Lingenfelter TT, Turbo Lambo, and Hennessey ViperTT) and beat them all.
