676grams surely 
or does it really weigh 676 times its own weight at 150ph?

It would crush itself like a cockroach under a boot if that was what they mean.

I've seen a few build diaries using the LS V8 engines with turbos and they do appear to make quite a lot of power. You can buy kits to do this
including one for the RX7 which I've just converted to an LS engine. So actually not that uncommon to see some very high HP engines even though
a lot of them are just for the drag strip.

676grams surely
or does it really weigh 676 times its own weight at 150ph?
Yes, I assumed it must be grams. That's why I was laughing.

More likely lbs I think. That would be 307kg which is a value I could believe.
