[DeTomaso] Here you go, KIrby . . . (NPC - they can't keep up)

As Kirby said, I drove his yesterday and while the acceleration is more sensitive than most street cars it's also very drivable on the street. I didn't get all the way on it but enough to have some fun.

Hmmmm, that's got some oooph! 

further thought: at what point does it become undrivable? (or "just about enough" hahahaha)

Thanks for the link. 
Getting the rear tires to hook up is a challenge.... 


Personally, I think the 662HP flywheel is underrated... 
A guy on the GT500 forum (or was it the SVT forum?) took a stock car off the showroom to the dyno and turned 600+ at the rear wheels. 


I don't know... maybe Steve Hawkins can be more informative... He drove my car on Sunday. 
:-) 


Makes for a helluva everyday driver though... 
BTW, I'm getting right at 17mpg on my daily commute.

Maybe not real fast (at the mile, you must have a 200mph ticket or they kick dirt on you) but pretty dang fast for an out of the box car. I saw a 1000hp+ RWHP run a mile event and the car wouldn't even hook up in third gear! 

Now back to your regular program . . . .
