0 to 100 back to 0 in 14 seconds seems ok to me for a pushrod engine. I also subscribe to HOTROD magazine and there is regularly 1000 HP street cars featured on their pages. These cars are also reliable and driven more than 800 miles. There's a "Power Tour" across America that these monsters drive and survive. The basic technology compared to the "high tech" F1 stuff seems to produce a tougher, more reliable engine. Amazing stuff. As for torque...when I push down on the go pedal and am forced back into the seat..that'll do me !
