Sure, the modified ones get crazy horsepower. Most boneheads wanting to race me are sporting off-the-shelf power---and their daddy bought it for them for their high school graduation.

Pimpy, though, with the gold bling hanging from the rear-view mirror, but it goes along with their "urban youth" look/attire (which is odd, 'cause most of them still live with their parents in upscale Los Gatos...).

Out of the box they are 250 rwhp,2900lbs,all wheel drive with a 4.4 something gear.They are nothing to laugh at.Except when a 17 YO is driving.Then you just take the side street.

So,a 1400 HP street car is JUST respectable?!!!!That car would clean the clocks of 99 out of 100 Cobras.

No sale.The cell phone is just more visible.It points out people who can't walk and chew gum.It's nothing more than a distraction in the hands of idiots.IDIOTS (can't multi-task)being the operative word.
