It doesnt matter, his car will have 800 hp only on a dyno, not on the street.

no matter how the user claims he is driving on the road with blah blah blah.

and you're not the slowest ... learn how to drive ...

that depends...

if it's on the renesis, then I think a bit over 400 whp

if a swap counts, then I think a few rx-8s in puerto rico are pushing some crazy amount of horses to the rear wheels (I think FI tri-rotors).

Fast doesn't = HP. The correct question would be: how much hp does the most powerful hp have?

Being fast is merely related to power.

Yes, that's true.

And the internet lies. None of those Supra guys really have 800hp. It's impossible.

Its a sad state of affairs when you can't even believe things you've read on the internet. . .

What is the world coming to?

I would assume a 20b swap would produce the most power and probably be the fastest.

Way too many people are obsessed with HP these days. I always say, Why didn't you consider that before you bought the current car you're in? Why didnt you buy a Z? Z owners why didnt you buy a Mustang? Mustang owners why didnt you buy a vette? Vette owners why didnt you buy a Viper? etc etc. Always going to be something faster out there and critics. If you buy a Veyron, someone will say well my CCX can do this.

90% of the people I've came across that own a sportscar, only care about what the HP number is. 99% of those people have never fully learned to drive the car they are in, to the full potential and actually used that HP.

Define "Fastest"? I could be driving Rgonza's RX-8 on any given track and I would probably get whooped by some of the class champs here in a stock RX8.

At our local autox events I regulary see Z06's, Vipers, 911 Turbos, Factory Five kit cars, etc. get whooped by a guy in a Miata(he was like national champ or something) with a Jackson Racing SC.
