... And when you see how difficult it is to utilize even that much power with practical street tires, you'll wonder why anyone would want any more, if they really plan to drive the car a lot. With street tires, whether launching or stabbing it from a roll in first gear, it's pretty much a joke at WOT. And the shift into second can get rather interesting too!
I always wondered about this. You could have a 1000 HP but if you can't get it to the ground, what's the point? In your opinion, with decent street tires that normally would last 20K miles or so (and not drag radials) where is the point of diminishing returns in a C4 LTx as far as HP and torque are concerned?
