VW Karmann Ghia nitro Rábaring, 2005. May 22.

The figures seem weird, until you take a look at the chart. Unfortunately there were some problems with the nitrous system in 3rd gear. After a bit of rolling he lifted off for a bit, then floored again (from 8 seconds) and after another half second he activated the nitrous as well. So you can see easily the advantage the nitrous gives. At the 8 second point he's somewhere at 4000 rpm or so - power is around 80 hp at the wheels. With nitrous injection it jumps up to 200 hp! (To see it clearly switch to 1/4 mile view!) And let's talk about the launch too. It's awesome, a steady 0.9 g throughout first gear, altough the first few tenths contain some reserve to improve the 60 feet times even more. As the car reached 100 km/h in 2nd gear, the best indicatior for this run has to be the 0-100 km/h value. This car is very light and powerful! It proved to be a winning combo even against a 600bhp Dodge Viper, winning his category on the day.
