That is b/c most sales are the V6 models & those 19 year old girls can't afford a Gt500.

Maybe on the '13 with upgraded internals, but I wouldn't push the '12 and previous years to that level without major bottom end work. I can't even use 550HP effectively though, so I'm not sure what I'd do with 1k. Seems like a bit of overkill to me, but I bet it'll make some crazy passes with DRs on it.

If you are buying that just for the power (which is the only reason to buy it) then you're a complete moron. For half the price you could build a MKIV Supra fit for the devil himself with 1000hp to the [i]wheels[i/], it'll actually handle, and won't look and sound like donkey dick.

You could also get a boss for a 3rd of that and install a centrifugal sc and make 900whp on stock internals for 7k and beat the living snot out of that iron pig of a supra on the track.

The Supra weighs 200lbs less from the factory and can make similar power to the wheels. If anything is a pig, it's the Mustang.

So it seems I'm not the only one that thinks that lol. You know something in general I'm starting to think there is less need to tune cars. You can get a 328i now putting out ~260+bhp. We also know that the 335i is around 340-350bhp if I remember correctly. What more do we need? Unless you're shopping for a Koenigsegg why would you need 1000bhp?
