Not to worry, I've NOT driven anything on the street with LESS than 500 horse since the late 60's and that was probably my first 289's. My last experience's were a 780 ft lbs torque 2010 Shelby GT500 Super Snake, and the last was a 2013 Shelby GT500 converted to a Super Snake by Tim Barth in Rockford, 24lbs boost delivered 890 ft lbs rear wheel torque, everyday driving was 18lbs boost and 700+ rear wheel torque. Notice I don't bother with HP figures, those figures don't twist the rear axles. Nothing like tool'n along about 75, pull the tranny down a gear or two, nail it and in 5 seconds the speedo needle race's past 150mph.
