Its easy, they don't

It will be an enormous amount of fun though, and I wish I was even close to North America so I could come and play with it

Iv driven a 180hp in 700kgs with a full race suspension and slicks around a track, I can only try and imagine what 500hp on road legal tyres on the street would be like


I still have a feeling however that you might be over powering the chassis
