Running right at 6 seconds at 1/8 mile and between 118-120 Mph. Mid 9's in the quarter at 135+

I think a fair bit has been said, 500 real bhp is not be scoffed at and I think its all in your car setup with weight distribution, rear suspension geometry, tires etc.
I would hardly think 500 bhp in a 3000+ Ib car is excessive especially if you want to run with the big boys, I have 675bhp in 2000Ib car, which doesnt go yet apart from engine dyno work, and I would think I could easily encourage oversteer and wheelspin at lower speeds, but hopefully when we are road racing on slicks or good radial slicks we can put it down, I think it all boils down to development work and spending large amounts of money at the track to get the results........!
