I believe it flipped because of the shoot being deployed improperly and not under full boost, it was actually decelerating and braking when it flipped.

Heard the chute was not correctly attached to the car and caused the back end to lift when deployed.
Read an interview with Michael Schumacher somewhere where he stated that anything over 800 HP was almost impossible to drive at the limit even for F1 guys like himself without computer aided traction and stability controls.
I once had the opportunity to drive an 1100 HP Lingenfelter twin turbo Vette built for the Texas Mile that was super scary. It was an automatic car that would break the tires loose at any speed with the slightest touch on the gas. The owner was scared ****less of the car and sold it. Don't blame him. It was a death trap.

It's actually driveable but only in a closed course with hardly any airflow. LOL! 
From what i've heard the chute deployed but the wind blew it in the wrong direction that it got caught and the car started to flip when it was in the process of decelerating.
Wonder how much that UR kit cost to upgrade that engine? Guessing $100-150k alone?

I believe they are in the 125k range, depending on exactly what was done. People at the event were saying what a waste for $400k, so you figure new that thing would be around 250ish...that would leave 150 for the TT

It starting to get a bit comical.
If 2500hp pro mod cars struggle for traction with Goodyear D1490s
Can you imagine THAT thing on the street
Sure would be fun until you wiped it though!

Gallardo is a perfect platform for 2,000hp+ due to mid-engine and AWD. It can use the power much better than a vette or a viper. With 1500whp, they ran a 9.1 @ 169mph (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8BwIniaHIUE). With 1900whp, I think a 7-second pass is definitely possible on street-legal tires. That's insane for a street car 
They have pricing on their website, undergroundracing.com, Stage 1 with 650whp is $35,000 and top of the line race version is $109,000+. You can buy a very low mileage gallardo for well under 100k nowadays, so this conversion looks very tempting. $130,000 and you can have a twin-turbo lambo

I have a good friend of mine that has a Celica GT-4...yes a Toyota, 4-cylinder, AWD turbo celica...that make well over 900 HP to all four wheels. He's run the standing mile at the event here in South Fla. The car was down tuned a bit (timing taken out and richened up a bit). He went well over 200mph...actually 206-207mph. His car is actually very driveable and is driven on the street regularly. He's gone into the 9's on street tires. The key is AWD!!! BTW, the car is using a stock transmission...says alot about Toyota transmissions.

He has more videos...including a the 210mph run and a 10.1 quartermile run on street tires
As far as a car being driven at the limit, there was a Pikes Peak Celica driven by Rod Millen back in the day that had well over 1000hp using that same basic 4 cylinder. That record still stands today for the pikes peak run. Definitely driven at the limit with no driver aids...
