What really boggles me is why they didn't just take the extra hundo they blew on slicing up endangered species so some cigar-pulling fatback could feel little bumps on his fetid behind, and rebuild the engine for boost?? Lowering a compression ratio isn't rocket science. New Pistons would do the trick, and while they were at it they could delete the VANOS and program a MoTec from the ground up. HEELLLOOO McFLY

The car does not even run..... It does not make 800HP, it makes 0HP. They can not even get it to idle.

HP#s in the article were pulled out of their rear-ends.

I would not worry about this car.

Yes, I'm aware of these farms, mostly in Australia, Africa, and Malaysia. But these farms primarily raise saltwater crocs, which are not the same as the American croc. IIRC, it is illegal to sell any products from a protected species, independent of its origin.
