Like my friends Saleen thats like 450hp or somthing to the rear wheels. When we were in it we thought somthing was wrong cause if we pushed the gas we could not hook up. All we could hear was szzzzzzz and then we could smell the tires roasting up and we left some hefty scratch once we got moving. :o
I've seen that on expensive stock tires: Vettes, Vipers, etc. Chances are you hung with this guy cuz he couldn't get traction. A Viper's got so much torque, they're hard to hook up... you see it at autocrosses a lot... the Vipers getting owned Neons (and not even the SRT-4s) because they can't get any traction exiting the corners, while the Neons just hot-foot it around.
