Did you pull away from it or did it let off and let you pass...Hard to tell in that video??? Still very impressed with the power your car is putting out...700+hp is a ton...

Man, I am wondering what 700hp feels like in a T/A?...Did you spin in all gears if you wanted too? I've never experienced anything over 350whp and I'm 40 years old...I know with my Lexus my first two gears rip and spin then the pull let's off..Alot of lowend torque with my ride.. I guess with 700hp the pull just keeps going...

I guess the important factor is when you have a ton of horsepower is it even distributed through out the RPM band... Some motors spike and that sucks..

Just about with any car these days when you reach that 400whp mark you need to usually beef up the drivetrains and that is always a pain in the ****... Unless you got a Zo6 or something crazy like that...


What am I missing out on? I need more power Scotty!!!!

in my case ...

* stock T-56 transmission
* spec stage 3+ clutch
* meclod master cylinder
* RAM slave cylinder
* spohn alaminum drive shaft
* moser 12 bolts rear end

will be more than enough to handle all the power coming from the the spec alaminum flywheel

Every gear feels like it pulls just as hard as first gear. You are just limited to traction. It's not all that, you get used to it quick.
