The new pony war champ

[thstone]

While these kinds of numbers are truly impressive (700hp+!!!!), the horsepower wars are just about over. What's next - 1000hp? 1200? At some point it starts to become a marketing number.

In my experience, 400-450hp is about the max you can use on the street and even this will put you well into "going-to-jail-speeds" (at least here in California) if you simply wind out third gear.

And even if you took it to the track, what's the point of passing other cars with 300, 400, or even 500 less horsepower?

Godzilla is a fine mobile. That car is truly impressive.

Better join another forum 1st! From what I hear unless you love driving by wire, (virally) you will soon become bored riding in a GTR while the car drives itself.

The guy on the bike gets my vote for the biggest cahunas in the group. I maybe still fresh from my situation but if someone blew a tire, and swerved, what would happen to him?

Having all that power and not being able to stick down to the road is a waste.

Sure you can make a lot of smoke and chew up tires, but that is only fun until you need to buy more tires.

A rocket sled is fast in a straight line too, but a boring uncomfortable experience at best.

Sorry folks but we bought Boxsters to do cornering and turning with the top down and the wind blowing through our hair, way more fun!

Well put jb
