I don't intend on ever owning a Nissan Leaf.
I've owned 400hp cars, I've owned a 270kph Superkart, have driven 600hp cars, mechanic for over 30 years. You cannot own AND drive something like that 800 hp Cobra in Australia. Period.
Good luck to those who think they can.

YOU can not, and why not specifically in Australia? I daily drove a 700rwhp car with zero issues for 3 years here in the US, including in the snow.
So for those of us that can and do, thanks for wishing us....luck. Really, it is not needed. A little bit of common sense is all that is necessary.
I bet Jays 800rwhp backdraft has better street manners than most 400hp Cobras do. Does that chap your ass or what?

It's a Ford Racing Aluminator NA Crate Engine with a VMP Stage 3 Gen2 supercharger kit running a little over 16psi boost. Using E85 to run it for the enhanced cooling effect. Tuning was done in house with Lund Racing making remote adjustments. |

Love that Coyote motor! Now I just need to find my '61 Starliner and buy it back. Then I will be seeking advice from you Cashburn.

Not wanting to hijack this thread, so I will find you later.
This thread is about an 800hp Monster that will, IMHO twist alot of metal and beat hard parts to death. Just looks like lots of maintenance to me.
That's what the customer wanted, so that's what he got.
