GTM Performance Engineering VQ45VHR-Our Journey to The 1000 HP and Beyond

longevity of the motor? meh, 1000whp engines aren't supposed to last, thats why the Veyron costs a million dollars.

That's kinda interesting. More interesting are questions like: What driveshaft will handle the power? What axles? Hows he gonna keep the engine cool? What transmission will he use to handle 1000hp? What differential? Compression? Meth? What tires? What's he going to do about the aero profile to go the speeds he wants to? How engine mounts are gonna hold up, tranny mounts? diff mounts? Melting everything around the turbos? All has to be welded. Full rollcage. Forget the A/C.

Those are the parts I find interesting. Lots of engineering goes into a build like this. That's were the true risk of this build is, if all it took was a 1000hp engine then it would be just a matter of building the engine and pumping a lot of boost into it. If only it were that easy haha...
