I saw something like this a few years ago on Speed Channel or something. Supercar Showdown with Tanner Foust? Something like that. They had a road course set up, had vipers , ford GT, all modded. A Porsche won it with undisclosed mods, it beat a 1100hp (allegedly) bhp viper that spun wheels (allegedly) at 150mph. If true, how is thing drivable?

When you spend $10k+ on an engine management system, they have a boost by gear setting that allows you to ramp up the boost dependent upon traction. Also, some of the systems come with traction control.
