That much power in a small car is a great conversation piece, and that much power never actually makes it to the ground.
Now this is the meat I was looking for,can only imagine what that 588 must feel like if the tires could hookup.A 514 or 521 makes more sense when it comes to planting the power.My 460 on street tires can get out of hand in the twisties,maybe a good set of tires is all I really need.Thanks to all of you,now deciding will so much easier.
