I have a 1969 Dodge Superbee that puts out about 550hp. It only gets driving on weekends and nice days mainly because it's more or less a show car than a driver. But it's insane to drive on the street, still haven't come up against something that can take it not even a viper buts that’s only in a 1/4 mile race. I would love to a car every day with that much hp but the amount of fuel that thing goes through is ridicules. I remember saying who cares when I bought it but after putting $20 in every time I go for a cruise for about an hour it gets old pretty fast. Plus after everybody starts finding out your pushing 500hp nobody wants to race u anymore. But I know exactly where your coming from I have a 01 GT Convertible and looking to put a supercharger on it to bring it just under or around 400hp. That’s plenty for a street car you'll be right on a vipers ass if not beside him.( that will piss him off when he sees a mustang keeping up to his $130000 car)

Here's some pic's if anyone is interested--click on the link below--
