It takes 980 horse at the wheels to push a 3200 lb car to a 8.64 quarter. 1/4 Mile ET Calculator

I'm not buying any of it, especially when they say it takes 100 horse to drive the Whipple. I believe the 1/4 times, just not the 575 horse claims.

Performance Specs:

575 Horsepower; 500 horsepower at the rear wheels
Quarter-mile time: 8 seconds (est.)
0-60 MPH: 1.52 seconds (est.)
0-100 MPH: 3.26 seconds (est)
Technical Specs:

5.0L TiVCT V8 engine with 2.9L Whipple Supercharger
100HP to spin supercharger
Specially calibrated 3 speed race transmission with SFI approved housing
Race-spec roll cage with Recaro Racing Seats
Parachute mount on rear- used for parachute to slow car from speeds of 150 MPH+
