With that much power those speeds would have come on very quick indeed. 150+ is not too bad and to be honest with that much power on tap I would be very disappointed if it was my car and it was not achieving those speeds and them some.

 

I think he's referring to them requiring to run the car at 180mph on the dyno in order to get the peak hp - it doesn't take 1000hp to get to 150mph so it's not about hp required to reach high speeds.

 

Maybe for some wierd reason they were running the car in 6th gear on the dyno - perhaps they were trying to figure out the cars theoretical top speed (gearing).
