IDK how much more power I'll be able to handle... My friend has a modded CTS-V LSA 2011 sedan making around 600 crank and I can barely keep my senses up with how fast that thing moves. If cars like these start coming with 600 hp from the factory, it'll be a norm to see someone making 800 hp from small bolt ons, pulleys, etc... This thing better have at least 305 series rear tires!

It's a good time to be an automotive enthusiast!

Meh - 1000 hp is useless for street driving unless you have AWD and even then, it's touch and go. It sounds good on paper but that's about it...

I agree. Traction would be a major issue with that kind of power.

Veyron owners can't even see Mustangs. In their lives, they don't exist, no matter who puts their signature on them.

Come on now Veyron owners do see the Mustangs! They see them as a quickly disappearing speck in their rear view mirrors!
