To put that in perspective, Indycars & Formula 1 cars vary from 650-900+hp at the crank.
Hey, great, thanks... for blowing all our our hard work at convincing n00bs that stupid-fast cars can't turn worth a damn.

:wink:
Well, you can be consoled that an F1 car weights about 1/3 our car's weight and costs about a million bucks. So you can have high horsepower and handling, but it'll cost ya, and it's not exactly a "grocery getter". (Although, if you used an F1 car to go to Scolari's, you'd be the biggest PIMP alive!)

Fast, Cheap, Reliable... choose any 2.
