Most people don't even realize how much power 350 hp is in a 289 car moreless 425hp is in a 2400 lb 427 street car.

My Cobra gets my respect every time I drive it and it's got only 502hp. Thats more than enough for me.
That exactly the point I was trying to get across in a similar thread. Everybody likes big numbers when talking horse power .There has got to be a point were too much is just too much, regardless of if you or your car can handle it.
