Actually I had a 427 pushing 700 horse and frankly it was a pain in the butt. Now IF you can build a motor that put's out that kind of horse power AND is street friendly with good longevity then I MIGHT be interested.

For those who want BIG horse power numbers I've found 500 plus is just about right, 400-450 is entirely satisfactory. Much of the "experience", the feel, the soul of the car has to do with gear and tire selection. Unless your running slicks anything more than 500 is interesting, fun, dangerous, kind of cool, good braggin' rights but for the most part a waste of time and money.
