I was watching Motorweek on tv this am and the new SLP Camaro has 750hp at the motor. The amazing part is Motorweek got a 3.2 0-60 with the car and they are generally fairly conservative with their times. 3.2 is amazing, mind you they cost 111,000.00 for the 3.2 0-60 and 11.1 in the 1/4 at 129.xx. BIG MONEY to say the least.

 

You could make your car run numbers like that for a hell of alot less than $111,000.

 

Matthew's Tecmotion coupe just did 0 to 58.77mph in 100 feet and in only 2.125 seconds - all motor, no forced induction or nitrous.

It's also licensed and insured for the street - mind you probably not as comfortable as a new GT500 or Camaro.

 

Saw his car while at his shop last year. he needs to get all that rubber off the 1/4'ers lol. I would race him as long as corners where in play tehehehe

 

True to that!!!
But in all honesty,i think it's to much now,nice to have,but it's just numbers for bragging rights it seems.

 

^100% completely agree. there are guys that dyno after every little mod so he can tell everyone how much hp he has. I will say there's nothing wrong with that but it's not me, that's for sure.

 

You can definitely go broke if you try to keep up with some out there in the dyno numbers war.Nothing like keeping up with the Jones!LOL

 

Even though I don't race anymore (too damn old and slow), the dyno numbers mean nothing, only the 1/4 mile times have meaning.

 

^^^that's my thinking. To me some of th edyno queens are like 1Low said keeping up with the Jones re my house is 2800 sq ft and yours is only 2750 lol

 

well as long as the handling and braking are getting improvements in leaps and bounds as well as the hp gains im all for it and say bring it on and as for ricers and euro cars, bring them on, if it means muscle car are going to take and create improvement its all good. it just mean if u want it u are going to have to pay for it. its about time we can get a higher end car with out the big price of some of the big name euro cars.
