Twin supercharged 599
 
OK, I have to admit that there's a big part of me that's like "aren't there way, way, cheaper ways to make 900 hp?" But then I stop myself, because I know there are. That said, I still think it's an interesting build, and it totally sucks that as Patrick said, it crashed and burned at its first event.

Apparently putting this baby together cost $1.7m? Jesus.

As the sheik said in Cannonball Run (I or II?), "A drop in the bucket!"

Stuff happens when you race. I've learned that the hard way.

I think it's on this forum? But one of the funniest taglines I've seen was:

"So which did you think would be cheap? The racing part? Or the Porsche part?"

I think about it all the time. Cracks me up.

Old adage: You know how to make a small fortune out of racing? Start with a big one.
