they expect us to believe that 40HP take the car from 205 to 250?!?!? an F1 car with zero wing will hit 250 with about 1/2 the frontal area of a CGT. the Veyron takes 1001HP to hit 253. me thinks the R&T boys should lay off the bong rips.

Well, what other changes are made? A car with 652 hp is certainly capable of hitting 250 mph. A lot more goes into it than just power. What about the torque? What is the Cd of the Mirage GT? Did they change the gearing?
Sure, ceteris paribus, another 40 hp won't increase the top end by 45 hp.
Oh, and the Cd for an F1 car is about .8, not .3 like the CGT.
