Maybe his results were from a juiced dyno, which js another form of false advertising.
Not only a bs dyno with fake high numbers but they probably also calculate in a drivetrain loss of 20-25% to get to that 900 number.
Yeah 900 would be capable of mid 9's at 145 mph. Lets see a dragy of a 145 trap and then I'll believe. Heck show me a 140 trap Dinan and I will be impressed.

The steering on the M8 is crap unfortunately. Handles well for a heavy car but wow this thing would eat through tires and brakes quickly at a track.
