What ever happened to Joe's 1,300 HP Ford GT TT?
Hey Joe, what's been going on with your 1,300 Horsepower twin turbo Ford GT? I just saw a video of you racing against your friend Torrie's 1,089 HP Ford GT with a stock motor, and your's is a built motor now, right?
What HP are you up to now? 1,500? 1,700?
I just found out there is a company out there called SVS Power that has Dodge Vipers putting out over 2,000 Horsepower, thought you might be interested. I even saw a dyno run where it hit 2,000 HP easily with more left if they wanted to push it!!!
It ran the 1/4 mile in high 7 seconds at 183 MPH. 
I think that if Stage 6 Motorsports, where you modified your car, can build your engine to a larger size again, you can maybe get to 2,000 HP also? Any updates and/or new videos/stats would be awesome!!

I want to know how long the tranny and engine lasts on some of those 1000-2000hp monsters...
I can understand the Bugatti Veyron being built to do 100,000miles on the original tranny and engine, but I don't see how continuously driving at that much boost is going to work out on some of these big hp cars will do.
Then again, I don't have much experience apart from a handful of people telling me that they'll drive just fine for tens of thousands of miles (probably pushing out a maximum of 200 or 300hp per average trip).

IMV fims is supposed to be releasing the JOE dvd soon, but I have only heard about this and it is not on their site and I think the last vid I saw, he was pushin a little over 1500 hp, but I could be wrong,because I always forget everything
