From what I have read about this thing, I believe those power figures were taken at the wheels. They also say the engine is more than capable of handling 1,000hp +, but they weren't aiming for outright power, rather a balance. Either way, I fucking love it.
PS. The wide-body was necessary as there was no room to go inboard for wider wheels/tires, and it's functional as well, in that the hood extracts heat, and so on.

In addition, this is still a bit of a work in progress. Predator plan on taking it to a wind tunnel for fine tuning the aero work, as well as tuning the suspension through track sessions, so it's definitely not going to be just a straight line ground pounder.
Which is a good thing.

^Regardless, it's not easy to put down 800 on the ground. It's gonna be one hell of a car to drive / control

No one said it would be easy haha, but providing you're not over-zealous with the throttle, it's probably quite drivable.

Pretty nice. Not a fan of the blacked out lights and the wheels, but with that power you really wont see anything but smoke and blur.
Edit
Second look. The wheels arent that bad. The chrome and black combo match the chrom grill pretty well.

A stock CTS-V is 3,509 lbs so says Cadillac.com, though Edmunds and Motor Trend claim 3,850 lbs... So with the C5R aluminum block and other lightweight engine components, along with the superchargers, probably around 3,800 lbs? I really have no idea haha.
