Not too practical for towing. That's some serious HP to weight ratio.

If you go over 65 mph around here you will be pulled over garanteed. You lucky to hit 80 mph for more then a few minutes. Never under stood the HP war for cars in the real world.

Trucks yes, because it boost up the trailer towing power.

If you go 65 here, you'll get passed. A lot.

Got a few places here you could stretch that thing out. Looks like I'll need a bigger stocking by the fireplace this year.

The pony wars are alive a well. Definitely not practical, what is in today's world, but it's definitely a lot of fun!

I live in Sault Ste. Marie Ontario Canada our highest speed limits is 60 mph but most are 55mph.

Across the river from us in Sault Ste. Marie Michigan on there I-75 the speed limit is 70 MPH but if you push 80 for to long a State trooper will get you its a sure thing.

My Mini Van can criuse at 80 without working a sweat but it will be pulled over in no time.

yep- same here in mass.
if you're going under 80 you're one of the slow ones.

Pretty cool and everything but what's the point? I've really never understood having a car that can go that fast and that kind of hp. I personally rather boast that my truck can yank your house off it's foundation or pull's 10,000 lb. down the road without breaking a sweat. Let's see you pull a heavy *** trailer down the road with that thing. It's got the pony's to do it but that's about it. Maybe I'm getting old but fast cars do nothing for me. Unless of course it's an old muscle car from the 60's-70's. But that's more of a nostalgia thing IMO.

grumpy old man!




I'd rather have a kick *** truck also- but I wouldn't turn down new sports car like a vette or shelby. There's a lot of vacant curvy roads around here that beg for a road gripping 600+ hp sports car
