You're right, for relatively little $, 650whp would be fun to have.
And what get's me going is that I'm as close as I'm likely ever to be to getting to stupid crazy power numbers. I pussied out on Stage 3 for the S4, and if I pussy out on this, I may very likely kiss the opportunity goodbye for ever.
It's a stupid thing to be concerned with, for sure, but, with gas prices going up and the tendency for smaller, plus the likely reality that after this car, I'll have played out the muscle-car experiment, it really may be my only chance.
I know there are a lot of haters out there, but you know it very well...once you taste the fun of obscene power, it's very addictive.
