Wrangler With a Twin-Turbo Viper Motor!

Talk about insane! This Jeep is pushing 716HP at the wheels, which seems like more than enough to make it turn back flips. There isn’t any detail on the actual install in the clips StreetFire member badwrangler has posted, and the German site referenced doesn’t work. But from what I can see in this video, it looks like all the transplant work is uber-clean. Now, I don’t want to sound like a heretic, but it seems like a twin-turbo Viper motor could provide a little too much power for this platform. I mean, seriously, isn’t this like attaching a rocket engine to a toaster? Watch the way the tires smoke up on the first run, and don’t miss this clip of a launch from 90KM/H.
