What's It Like to Drive 600hp?

[MidOHasp]

No idea.

But w/ over 500HP, the tales are a little tall. Not too tall though. First gear is a complete joke, second pretty much is too although can be finessed. Third you can definitely get sideways if you are stabbing at the pedals, but if you roll on, with 295mm rear tires, 3rd is pretty steady. Fourth gear is a really strong pull up to about 120-125 (never can tell w/ the speedo bouncing between 110 and 130) and I haven't been much past 130 yet (only have 500 miles on her). That whole fun process takes around 11-12 seconds.

The whole experience kinda depends too on how you get there. I have a stroker and with the torque it makes and how long the throttle pedal travel is, I can literally have it bouncing off the rev limiter before my foot hits the firewall. That's no tall tale.

I'd imagine 600 HP would pretty much be all that but a little hairier yet.

I'd like to drive 600 HP sometime - but I'm guessing it's not much different until 3rd gear unless you have drag radials or real slicks. Beyond that though, who knows...
