I mean yeah, turbos can make more power, seeing as most tt cobras out there are making at least 800 and some are looking at over 1000 to the wheels which is just nuts. But I like sc'ers. A KB cobra can make 650-700 and even that is way too much for most people. So to tt a cobra is pretty pointless unless it's a drag car or you want to die driving down the road. 800-1000 hp is just getting stupid.

Those caddys are pretty sweet too...

Actually, it is like 65 K. A BMW M5 is like 120 K. Thus, buying the Caddy is a SAVINGS of 100 K over the M5 by the time all of the other costs of ownership are figured in (like mainly INSURANCE). SARCASM ON - Of course, these things don't matter to folks who can afford them right (after all, the rich are clearly rich because they foolishly fail to consider costs, right?). SARCASM OFF Since I will never buy one of these new (maybe I will get a USED one though ), ownership costs are something I still take into account when comparing things, even things best left to my daydreams.

556 HP, supercharged. My brother in law builds the engines for it in Lansing. Outperforms BMW M5. Motortrend, which has, IMHO, a decidedly European slant, has been raving about it.

0-60 in 3.9 seconds???? Yeah, its a freakin' Caddy. That outperforms the 'Vette.

Yeah for a street car 1000hp is retarded. Trying to harness 1000hp with street tires on regular roads its just dumb. You won't be able to pull out of your parking spot with out spinning the tires... sarcastic of course, but really give it any more then half throttle and that *** end is breaking loose.


Those caddys are sweet, but WAY too refined for my liking.
