Someone found out what 700+ horsepower is all about. Once they unpuker his ass, maybe they can get him into a prius.

I remember watching Top Gear one time and one of the dude's predicted an 800hp car would be slower around the track than the same model with 500hp because it's hard to control all that juice. The 800hp car did produce slower results.

I had that Lingenfelter Camaro for awhile that only had 450hp but over 500fp of torque. It was like the gas pedal was no longer a go and stop going situation...it was more of a precision instrument. Just a little too much pedal would spin the tires whether you were going 10 or 100mph. With 700 horses in that Dodge, you could spin the wheels and lose control at any moment, going any speed and in any situation. It's dangerous!

I pulled 415 RWHP on my Mustang but haven't put a blower on yet. I know some guys with corvettes that are pushing a 1000 HP. All depends on what you're driving. Mustangs are good track cars with the live axle but the suspension is crap, the transmission is a POS and they are heavy as hell. Corvettes have better handling with the IRS and even though I'm a Ford guy, I have to admit that the Chevy LS engine is superior when it comes to adding HP.

I haven't looked at the new Challenger yet. All the ones I've seen up to this point looked like they were assembled with cheap parts...

Dude, It's a Dodge.
Cheap part is all they use from day 1 of the Dodge Brothers.
