Technically, the answer is right there in the question. 600whp is 600 wheel horsepower. Wheel horsepower is power as measured at the wheels by a chassis dynamometer (dyno).

Car manufacturers advertised horsepower numbers are "bhp" or brake horsepower, which is power at the flywheel as measured on an engine dyno. This does not take into account the weight or efficiency of the rest of the drive train, which includes the transmission, transfer case (on 4wd trucks), differential(s), drive shaft(s), axles, wheels, and tires.

Generally, all of those components add up to a loss of anywhere from 10-25% of the engine's power.

So, a car with 600 whp could have anywhere from 660 to 800 bhp.

The performance of such a car will vary significantly depending on weight and a few other characteristics, but look at the performance characteristics of a Chevrolet Corvette ZR1, Dodge Viper, Ferrari 599 GTB Fiorano, or Lamborghini Aventador for some examples of cars with more than 600 bhp.
