Not flaming you dude... but it'll go faster than most states' speed limit laws will allow. It's always interesting to read peoples' comments and questions on how fast a vehicle will go. Now don't get me wrong, I'm all about the power of the vehicle and the ability to go fast, but where most folks get confused is how horsepower relates to torque. Although the two are not independent, many people confuse them. Horsepower relates more to top speed and overall power of the engine, whereas torque relates to the seat of the pants reaction when you stomp on the gas. THAT'S what most folks want since running 150 MHP is not only impractical, and illegal but completely unsafe on a public street. Between the two...give me a car that will do 0-60 in 2 seconds. Pin my head back on the headrest at launch and dare me to take it off while accelerating. That's where the fun is...stoplight to stoplight!!!
