Why 1000 hp ? Because you can.

Some need it. It the track(dragstrip) you need all you can get, especially with a heavy car. It also depends on what you actually do with the car. Some like to drag race, some like to pull top end in challanges like the one for hotrod. Doing that stuff, 1000 hp does not go to far these days. Heck, my closest is trapping 175 at the track, figure that out power wise in a 3500 lb car!! It really all depends what the goals are for the car.

1000 hp...... That is a common number because it is easily achievable with 93 octane, with race gas, the same car can make 1200-1500 hp at the push of a button!! So really, any turbo car with a built bottom end is a 1000 hp motor if you turn up the boost.
