Information has been released a drip at a time to build the hype, but it's supposed to be 200 lbs lighter than the 707 hp Hellcat, and in the neighborhood of 1000 hp. Keep in mind this was a factory prepared car for it's grand debut so not a guaranty of the same performance by the one you buy next year.

You can tell by this original 1965 commercial, it took awhile for Pontiac to figure out the GTO’s target demographic.
The Mad Men envisioned their customers as the sporty married professionals in the commercial. Pretty quick they found out the GTO’s real buyers were more likely to be found at the drag strips and drive-ins. Pontiac ad man Jim Wangers knew, so he arranged for the GTO song to be produced, with Ronny and the Daytonas.

Honestly, I'm surprised it doesn't happen more often. Those tires and wheels are huge and heavy and they're obviously held on by the (relatively) tiny spindle. They get a LOT of movement, it seems like an obvious weak point.
I bet he stuck the landing though!

This is a cut-away of a 1948 Packard 327 ci, flathead, straight eight.
 Would you like to see/hear that engine with a blower in a rat rod?

Was that gear whine or a noisy blower? And where did that guy learn to shift? IMO he needs more practice.

It was a blown Packard straight-8. But he might have had a gear drive instead of timing belt.
I liked watching the shifter move around with the drivetrain.
