you're missing a crucial point.
In the rest of the world they care if the whole car blows up and kills someone.
The locals and their bengali engineers don't give a flying **** if the whole thing explodes just so long as they look cool doing it

They are considered specialists within the region at building ridiculous patrols.
1500hp patrols must be the handling equivalent of strapping a jet engine to a shopping trolley.

Out of interest - do you know any of these garages? I'd like a supercharger fitted to the FJ.
Think bigger, that Jay Leno chap has a motorcycle fitted with a helicopter turbine. That's the kind of stuff you should be contemplating.

Its probably modified to use Nitrous Oxide rather than Jet fuel - plenty of those systems available in the UAE.
