The looks can be improved allot, and it can only get better from there, i would still buy it just to feel what it could do. After all at the speed that thing would come flying past you, it would have already proved the point it was built for.

One ad says coil over spark plug type. And the pic shows a distributor with plug wires. A small block chevy can do a thousand horses, but would not last long. And if its just rear wheel drive, No street tire could give that much traction. So if its too good to be true, it probably is not, sorry. Sure would like to see some outside crew test it!!!!

Take that figure with a grain of salt, seeing as Top Gear is more entertainment than factual, but the fact is that VW made the Veyron as an engineering exercise, not a money-maker. So Barabus. A quick google search reveals ... nothing. I can't find any mention of this manufacturer other than this 1000hp 270mph'er. Hard to imagine that the company will make any money on this car, so hopefully the owner has a VERY fat wallet. Actually no, this car is ugly as hell and I hope it goes bust.

I have to say the front looks like a car from the Burnout Revenge game while the back looks like a cheap copy from Pagani Zonda. The engine bay isn't pleasing and the whole car looks plasticky. tsk tsk tsk... Some tuning job done by some some boy racers, perhaps? =P So whut??
