on the street it would be outputting more like 80 hp during normal driving, means nothing that it peaks at 1000.
With that much power you could only touch WOT for a second or two on the street.

I bought the car on here from the original owner almost a year ago and have made it my own. It had 6800 miles on it and it just turned 8000. It had 861 RWHP at the time of purchase. Out of all our cars I really love that car.
