A car that weighs less than our eights with about 600hp?!?!?

This will absolutly kill Cadillacs upcoming XLR-V though. Who in the right mind would buy a 100k XLR with about 440hp, over the baddest vette ever with 600hp? Not to mention that you can't even get a manual in the caddy.

The speedometer will move faster than our RPM's...

However, seeing how they are using the same engine as the Z06, it seems like the numbers should be higher. That must be at a pretty low PSI. Open those valves up even higher and bye bye any car!
