Re: Ready for a new car yet?
Good article that explains the power achievements well. As noted, the limitation will be tires an if you fix the tire issue then they will move to transmission and drivetrain components. I have always posted in my forum signatures that my favorite quote is from Mickey Thompson: "Too much horsepower is almost enough". Having experienced the 650 HP/650 TQ of my C7 Z06, I would have to say that 1,064 HP is more than enough. At least for this old former boy racer--Bob
