Anyway, this is a 1,200 HP Scion at the first practice session of the Redline Time Attack event at Sebring this weekend. Was fun to watch it rocket down the straights but had to be careful not to rear end him. Never met the driver and I'm sure he's a cool guy. Incidentally, my car has over 600 HP and was totally left for dead on the straights. Pretty entertaining. Recorded in 720 HD.

I can't find anything on the specs of this car (the FWD) but the newest one is an AWD TC with what motor trend says is making 1400hp@1000+ftlbs. The front wing on that one is much less ridiculous. The records that were set using this god awful looking thing though are very impressive.
