There was a write-up on the build of this car in a past PI magazine. From the article, it was shown with twin-turbos (which certainly explains the sound and the speed in the video) and inter-coolers stuffed along either side of the engine. As I recall, there was also mention the owner/builder was connected with a DTM race team.
Greg Esakoff's Pantera (in the second video) was at that time still w/o a rear wing and I believe still running DOT (Hoosier) tires. I'm sure all those P cars were running slicks and big wings ;-) They were fast in the corners, but watching Greg's car on the back or front straight at WIR, made it look like everyone else was parked!
