An example would be Ken Block's 1400 hp twin turbo "Hoonicorn" custom Gymkhana Ford Mustang" But Ken Block and his cars are not typical and he beats the crap out of them VS run a dyno test and get a number.

"Ken Block's custom Gymkhana Ford Mustang packing a twin-turbo V8 tuned to 1,400 horsepower, connected to a six-speed sequential gearbox and all-wheel drive, with a weight figure kept under 3,000 pounds."

But I would like to have 1 tenth of the money he has invested in that car.
He has moved on to other manufacturers brands after a 10+ year deal with Ford.

A vehicle capable of the Hoonicorn performance is possible with Railroad Train Box Cars filled with cash, BUT is not normal.
