Chato Ibarra's 1200 hp FD?

I was checking out some pics of SEMA and I can across some photos of Abel's brother FD in the Synapse booth. It's an awesome looking 7 and the site claimed 1200 hp on methanol. It looks like Frank Choi's old FD. Does anyone have any knowledge of this car? 2 or 3 rotor ?

The workmanship and engineering on the car looks top notch. I'm really digging the fresh air intakes for the turbo. Thanks for the info and the link enzo 250.

I remember seeing pics of the car at Sevenstock but never saw the engine bay up close. It seems to be more of a show car than a racer. Still very impressive!

Sorry, I've been out.

Do you happen to have a dyno sheet for that 1200HP Abel?
