I spent about an hour and a half driving an SPF with over 600 lbs of torque this weekend and it hooked up very well.
It was incredibly fast but well behaved.
I have always believed there is no substitute for cubic inches and now I know it.
It is much easier to get that kind of reliable power from a big block, as in less stress and strain on the motor. I have had a 600 HP small block in an old Camaro but it was nothing like this.
This car much easier to drive around town in than the Camaro ever thought of being at that power.
It took about 6 hours for the smile to start disappearing from my face.
