600 bhp to play with

[stumpy1]

550 is now not enough. I have 600 under my foot and it just amazes me how much power we have access to these days. Proper old school supercars get by with only 478. And here I am in a 4 door living room with nearly as much as an slr. Where will it stop?

Just short of the petrol station??

Not that I'm at all envious

Enjoy

Big BHP tuning has been around for a while, especially in the realms of muscle cars, Skylines, Supras, et al. Silly BHP has traditionally cost silly GBP though.

I think what's change in recent times is that it's now available in cars that aren't a pig to drive and maintain, at relatively sensible prices..

I think it will be a while before we see 700bhp regularly in cars that are otherwise "normal". The likes of the 65 AMGs - and even 55 AMGs - can do it, but it's not good for their internals and transmission without series modification.
