I highly doubt it. There's audible supercharger whine in the spy videos at Laguna Seca.

all indications from the guy at the track was that it was definitely a supercharged engine. More likely for the ME car if anything.

Nice try. This is the Mercury Racing SB4.

To those who said (like I thought) that you'd never pull 750hp out of a naturally aspirated motor, this one produces 775@7500 on pump gas!
