Factory old iron just can't compete ... ??

Not many need or want 4 digit horsepower and many that achieve it can’t handle it. Chassis wise and talent wise. Many many of these guys but these store bought powerhouse cars and wrap them around a pole shortly after.

This reminds me of an incident that happened in the late 60’s of a guy home on military leave in the north woods of Wisconsin that while partying with 2 girls in his brand new Hemi charger went off the road and through the woods at speed. The biggest piece of the car they found was the trunk lid which was ripped in half and the only way to identify the 3 was that they knew they were missing.

And while the accident was viewed as a tragedy, there was a whole lot more sympathy for the 2 girls than the guy.

So whatever flavor of speed one chooses, when pushing the envelope it should be done in a respectful and civilized manner in a qualified venue with proper safety precautions and safety personnel.
