Bandit and Takuro bait?

Just came across this in the classifieds section of an ink and paper vintage car mag. Luckily they have an (albeit rather negligible) online presence so that I can share this with you guys.

Well, let's call this a rare bird, over here at least. tTey claim that it has a 6.6l with a supercharger which now produces around 880 hp now but can be tuned (or had been tuned in the past) to 1300 for the drag strip while running on carbs.

Credible? And also, yay or nay on the overall presence?

I probably don't have the balls to DD such a thing, but if it was done for the strip this is a completely different story. So what do you think?

It's hideous. Look at those flares and that spoiler! I looks very fast and furious. It has T-tops and there is now way it could hold 1300 hp without majorly twisting the body. Also, tax in German is based off engine displacement isn't it? 6.6l is bound to be expensive.

Nope! It's a vintage car of some sorts, there are loopholes. Remember! We build 'em, so road tax and stuff is rather cheap. It's the other Euro countries that don't live off the auto industry that punish displacement so hard.

Those flares. UGH.

Also, good luck with 1300hp on that 10 bolt rear end. Or 880. Or even 500. Or...
