Hello all,

I thought it would be interesting to plot my HP and TQ numbers for my last few vehicles.

So, planning on getting something in the low 500 hp range in a couple years?

Yeah, it is. What's amazing is how much my current car puts out in horsepower. If I fitted it with better brakes & tires for the track (twisty), it wouldn't surprise me if I could equal the performance of my 2010 SS because of how much better balanced the car is in the corners. Even with the stock tires, I know I can corner much faster than my SS did because of how much the SS pushed into corners. On the straights, the SS would likely make up the slack though.

I thought i'd update the thread with the latest info.
The Camaro has had some mods done since and i added a column for the #'s.
