(VIDEO) Too Much Horsepower...



Joe is a bit special. Quite how special you can judge for yourself by watching this 21 minute documentary by IMV Films.

It chronicles Joe's attempts to nearly double the power output of his Ford GT. Quite why anyone would need to do that to a car already capable of hitting 212mph is anyone's guess. But, he's managed to take the GT's V8 from 550bhp to 1000bhp by fitting two, rather meaty, turbos.

It seems sanity and reason had little to do with the decision making process. The results are... spectacular, although I would imagine the turbo lag would be measurable in geological eras. Still, if you have a few hundred grand lying around, and a deathwish, its certainly an exciting way to go...
