When "662" = more like 700
At this point what's another 30-40 more horsepower?

So why have 600? better drivability at 350 hp. numbers game. ( Unless I test drive a GT500 for a while ) |

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. -- For all you know this message was... Sent via an exclusive network, on a snobby portable computing device. |
