Reply to "Cheapest and easiest way to get approx 600HP"

In reply to the "440 BHP motor has 6.5 pounds per horsepower " line of thought, I offer the following.

I have recently taken to classifying cars thus:
stocker
peppy (my V8 Miata)
performance = 440 BHP motor has 6.5 pounds per horsepower
brutal = a 2200lb Kirkham w/ 550hp
stupid fast [1] = Gallardo w/ 1800 wheel hp

One should NOT be exercising anything peppy or above on public roads, its just isn't safe.

butt, in rebuttal to the "440 BHP motor has 6.5 pounds per horsepower " line of thought I say this, the throttle works both ways. Don't drive like you don't have relatives and friends.

all the best,


[1] When at the Texas Mile event I saw a guy w/ a hat that said "stupid fast" on the back - wtf? Now I know.
