I know someone that has 1600rwhp in his Ford GT and the traction control is controlled by GPS.. Serious money even down here in FL.

As for the 0-60mph in 1 second - it is possible to be in that range. Before the death of John Lingenfelter his twin turbo C5 was doing it at 1.7 sec if I am not mistaken. I also believe that a 6 point harness is required to prevent neck and spinal injuries due to the massive g-force of that horsepower. His car was not 1500+ hp but I do believe it was around 1300 when it raced the jet in the 1/4 mile.

If this is the Boeing aircraft corporation somehow I have a hard time believing you.
1. Boeing doesn't make turbochargers, at all, that I'm aware. Even back in the heyday or recips on aircraft they didn't make their own. 2. The only engines Boeing deals with are turbines that they integrate onto their airframes. 3. The only ground vehicles Boeing deals with are military vehicles they are integrating other products like lasers on. 4. Even if 1-3 weren't true, I've worked with Boeing reps from their Integrated Defense Systems unit and honestly, there's very few private individuals that can afford to speak to Boeing, much less hire them to do work. Last I was around them, they won't even talk to you unless you have $1 million in guaranteed work to put under contract. But then again, I'm just a lowly aero engineer, what would I know about the aerospace industry.

Theoretically you could get something with that much hp to go 1 second 0-60, but not in a street application. It would need the suspension, tires, frame, and tranny of a funny car on a track to pull it off.
As for Boeing doing the turbo chargers, I doubt it also. Unless they were using an old application from a 1940s era plane, these days they make turbofan and jet engines which aren't made for a typical car set up...

This is kind of like the moron from high school I ran into at the dealership today when dropping off My Camaro. He said my 426 HP was nice but his new 2009 Malibu had the "Cop motor" in it making 450 hp... bone stock. It was 8 am and I was tired I said "sure" and left...

a trip to my local Boeing dealer is all it takes to get my 502 to 1000+ HP?

To the best of my knowledge, the closest that Boeing gets to turbos is a turboprop engine. But that isn't a turbo charged engine its a jet engine spinning a propeller. And Boeing doesn't design very many aircraft engines, most often they get outsourced to places like General Electric.
