Two show-stoppers at a past Cars and Coffee I went to:

An 1100 hp Toyota Supra Turbo




And a 1300 hp Nissan Skyline GT-R R33, which was (and is still) for sale

I have hard time believing that R33 is putting down 1300hp. RB26s have never been able to spin up that high and many owners are very fictitious with their hp claims. I have been around these cars since 1989 so know my RB engines,

I can understand how you believe a Supra can produce over 1000 hp, but not a Skyline GT-R? That particular R33 is being sold by Autosource Dallas near where I live, and you can look at its sale ad and read about the modifications. 1300 hp or not, it's not even street legal, but if it were, it's way too much power for the street IMO.

At least GM used to make good stuff...

This particular bad boy has been out on the road since 1943.
Built as an FT B-unit, rebuilt into a 1350 hp GP9 in 1959 then rebuilt into a GP28M in the early 90's.
