Well I have a bit of further information, originally it was destined for the Street Eliminator, an all street-legal class so yes I expect it does have a passenger seat and the scary thing is it probably isn't far off being street legal. Imagine doing that off the lights

It hasn't been dyno'd because there isn't a dyno in the country that can take the power. It clocked up 1000ft-lbs of torque and roughly 1000hp at 3000rpm which is where the dyno couldn't take any more. Estimates are up at 2000hp

Leo, the tyres are designed to twist up and release the energy rather than being rigid causing massive wheel spin. Also when the car isn't moving they sit half deflated looking all squashed out on the tarmac for maximum grip, then up at speed they grow really tall and narrow which is like having another gear.
