About 550 at the crank, 440 at the wheels. 335/35/17s with 3.46 gears. Will break loose in first with throttle after that you have to work at it. 11.8/120mph quarters. Cruise around town, back roads, highway, lots of trips, drive in the rain just for fun, road track for adrenaline. 50 k+ miles.

Seems that many think the throttle is on/off when it is really a variable switch that you control. It's not the HP it's how you use it. But if you are afraid of it, don't buy it.

The only safety is the link between your brain and your foot.
