When "662" = more like 700
 

At this point what's another 30-40 more horsepower?

how to tell the difference driving ?

on a dragstrip perhaps, but then it is timing and traction

but not on the street,
you cannot apply 600 HP for more than 2 seconds (WOT) without going over the
speed limits.
So why have 600?
better drivability at 350 hp.

numbers game.


( Unless I test drive a GT500 for a while )

It's all about bragging rights.
How DO you drive with 600+ hp? If you get a leg twitch while turning in
an intersection, do you end up doing a 180? <grins> I'd probably kill
myself with 900+ hp. 600 hp would do me in... I'm willing to take that
risk.
