Put it on a dyno, of course.



Why climb the mountain? Because it is there. Why build a 2200 HP S7? Because horsepowers.

Or another take on it:

Ozymandias

I met a traveller from an antique land
Who said: Two vast and trunkless legs of stone
Stand in the desert. Near them, on the sand,
Half sunk, a shattered visage lies, whose frown,
And wrinkled lip, and sneer of cold command,
Tell that its sculptor well those passions read
Which yet survive, stamped on these lifeless things,
The hand that mocked them and the heart that fed:
And on the pedestal these words appear:
"My name is Ozymandias, king of kings:
Look on my works, ye Mighty, and despair!"
Nothing beside remains. Round the decay
Of that colossal wreck, boundless and bare
The lone and level sands stretch far away.[1]

Bit hard to drive with none to limited traction

I seriously doubt you could do so. This thing would just melt tires. We're talking 550hp per wheel. Is there and speed/gear where full throttle wouldn't break traction?

Just needs a little downforce. CanAm cars did it. IIRC, the 1973 Porsche 917/30 had 1580 hp going to just two wheels - that's 790 hp each. 0-100 kph in 1.9 seconds. Over 420 kph (260 mph) top speed. Sounds like fun.

Not too sure... Put slicks on all four corners and I bet it would move pretty good.

Having 2200 hp is like having a three foot long penis. It may look impressive but you can't use most of it for the fun stuff.
