Note: this makes about 400 horsepower without boost, and boost comes on at about 1.75 seconds from 0, hence the weird acceleration.

Wikipedia does say that, but I went off of the source they cited for that value, and the source never mentioned 1618 horsepower at all. The Wikipedia page for the B186 however, said 1,400 which is backed up by the source from the engine's wiki page.

1400 PS was for the GTP car, not the F1 car
