They make it seem as if a car with 700 hp shouldn’t be street legal. Guess they haven’t heard of the Shelby 1000.
Or Porsche and a host of others.
Or the Bugatti Veyron (1184 hp).
My 1965 GTO cranked out 375 hp.The 389.cu.inch engine was “blueprintd”by Joe Mondello and boasted”Tri-Power”!I sure do miss her!!!She got around 8 mpg.
I think one of the variations of Mustangs is around 660 HP from the factory. What’s wrong with HP? ;-) (says the guy driving a 7 year old hatchback with 126 hp new...)
There’s a ‘70 Camaro in Hot Rod this month with a twin turbocharged Chevy 427. Builder claims 1320hp at 6500rpm on a light dyno pull with 23psi boost. The turbos can apparently deliver 38psi. It runs through a specially modified T56 six speed.
It looks very streetable, but from the article it’s currently on the show circuit, sadly.
Not my favorite car, but they did an incredible job. No word on what it cost to build...
Hennessey offers a 1000hp Vette.
