I think CAPA have done alright and achieved what they set out to do. They drove the car 1000 KM to the event, ran it on the dyno and made more than 1000 HP at the wheels and then drove it 1000 KM home. They got 13.2L/100KM on the trip and the car is reliable and drives like a stock Comodore.

Considering a stock LS1 commodore makes around 230HP at the rear wheels, they have built the motor that makes more than 4 times that.

I'd be interested to see how a 1000 HP 13B or a 1300HP F1 engine would perform under the same test. Fuel economy? Reliability? Drivability?

Cheers
