Man, you've got bigger ones than I do.

My engine puts out 550hp and 575 lb ft. at the crank and even with sticky tires I can get sideways in third gear with just a firm push on the pedal. Don't know what I would do with another 200 horsepower except ruin more pairs of underwear than I already do.

I don't even consider flooring the throttle in any gear below fourth unless I'm going straight and have no cars or steep dropoffs on either side of me.
