I saw a R33 GTR that pulls 430 KW at the wheels thats nearly 4 times the power of mine at the wheels at Hyper tec in Vermont.
Looking under the hood is scary. Image working on these cars or pulling up at some RACV country town mechanic to ask to find the problem.

difference is the 4.0 wasn't meant to rev like the nissan engines were. Hence their small cubic capacity. The nissan may make 300rwkw but @ what rpm? 7000? 7500? I couldn't imagine a 4.0 really going to 7000rpm and staying together. It is possible though.
