Then figure the standing mile record held by a Ford GT is 283mph....now that is relentless.

The GTR is fast, it's very fast. But acceleration is not relentless.

The blood must rush to your back!
The way I explain it, you are at the top of a roller coaster, when it goes down, that is the kind of speed you experience, yet on the road.

MMM So there not special as they don't look it as they tested for flow and harmonics as my thoughts would be the 99% of that 1000bhp was engine build and turbos

my comment about it being special was not referring to the manifolds! I was talking about the engine .

im well aware that that engine could make the same sort of power with a pair of manifolds built by any good manifold fabricator so whats your point ?

the cylinder heads inlet and exhaust manifolds and two different brand exteranal wastegates were all flow tested on the engine builders superflow .
