Staggering how the car can stay on the road with such massive boosts of power... it will be in "funny car" power. Is it generally something you are drag racing, or for the road? (if its the latter.... then what a waste of money! But enjoy the speed!)

At the end of the day, its just a car shell with a rocket ship engine. Make sure its driveable, I believe from what i've read many turbo charged S2k's have an even nastier temper.

500-600whp will be difficult to stop fast tyre wear, even with a subtle geo setup. I'm assuming the camber will be aggressive to keep the back in check.
Even though I shudder at anyone fiddling with an already magnificent car, I like to see how build threads go, and find them thoroughly interesting. Keep us posted with pics

My 255 r888 got 300whp down in the damp, your going to need 275s and boost by gear, every gear will be the same :-)

Slightly off topic but out of all the bikes I've had which include Busa R1s tuono racing,the most violent explosive bike was a Ktm 640 supermoto,tuned by Craig Taylor,70 bhp 135 kgs the throttle was like a switch. It would top out at 110mph but nothing passed it on corners.
Power demands respect,lots of power demands lots of respect.it should be fun.
