Enough is enough, too much is just right ! ( C.S.)

The more power you run the stickier tires you need. I normally run 550-600 rwhp depending upon road conditions and temperature outside. Once your running really sticky tires it's just a matter of what speed you can put the pedal all the way down. Cheers.

I remember this question from years ago:
"If you can spin the tires at any speed in any gear, you have too much power...if you can't spin the tires at any speed in any gear, you don't have enough power. So, How much power is just right?"
I think more is usually better...

Now, I've had my car for 8 years with my 418W with 9k miles on it. Best of everything inside. Puts out 478 hp at the wheels. Of all the rides I have given, like Brettco said, no one has asked for another. You know when your HP is just about right when people walk away after a ride smiling and just shaking their head. Oh, and if you get beat on the street, ya just don't have enough HP anymore.

Y'think? Gawd, that's one mean lookin' beast, do they have X rated categories for engines yet, for sure that one would qualify? Congratulations.
Does the customer giggle after the ride as a result of being scared S***less or does the giggle then transition into a full-blown cranium meltdown?
Just curious.
Cheers, tin-man

I am thinking, if the other car made the guy giggle, this one gotta make growd men tremble, become jelly kneed, have extreme anal retentive symptoms, have a very strong desire to urinate and break out into cold sweats, oh, and that's before they get into the beast.
Bill, any chance we can see final pictures?
