Indeed. It's believed the Corvette GTP had the most powerful engine on the grid in 1986.
That was also it's biggest problem, though - it had quite a few reliability issues. They were squeezing out a lot more power than the engine could handle to try and make up for some cornering deficiencies(the car was built on a Lola design from 82/83, and the suspension had barely been developed at all since then).
