Are you guys sure they aren't talking about that aftermarket conversion
with a blower that makes about 400 hp and is called "the Monster" or
something like that?
I saw one at a car show, it was black with two red stripes, rollbar,
hardtop, huge wheels and the manufacturer had a poster with comparison
numbers of hp, weight, 0-100, 100-0.  Of course on paper it beat Ferrari,
Porsche and Lambo...

I don't only have useless knowledge, but also go to useless new-car car
shows...
