Haha, threads from 2004. Yes, we hated them back then, too.

As far as 500hp being slow now, compared to current modded cars I think comparatively it's the same as it used to be back in the day. 2003-2004 500+rwhp 408/427s drug the crap out of then slow bolt-on/Cam only/HC cars. Then 2005-2006 big motor power adder cars in the 750-850rwhp range made everything in the 500rwhp range look slow. Now unless you are in the 1k+ rwhp club you are lumped with everyone else in the middle of the bell of the bell curve. Only one easy way to be in the fast kids club at any given point in time which is when newer faster stuff becomes available buy it. Lol you never have to be the fastest just faster than most at any given time which is totally doable.

what if some neon is racing V8s that run 10s in the 1/4 and trap anywhere from 130-139mph? Is that still slow?
