Owned - Evo 6 with an estimated 700bhp at the flywheel but it's never been on the rollers.

Should be circa 550bhp at the wheels ish using the fudge factor.
Holy s***! What's it like driving a car with that much power on the road?

most powerful thing i have ever owned and ever driven is my current car.

Astra VXR stage 1 map = 265bhp

which, according to some dodgy website calculator works out at 220bhp/ton

Power to weight is the thing. My R500 was much quicker than my RS6 & 911 turbo S, yet it had only half the power.

Most powerfull owned would be Toyota Celsior with 250hp.

Most powerfull driven would be a 1970's camaro with 800 odd horsepower.

Owned: M3 Evo 330 bhp

Driven: 911 Turbo with 600hp, Audi RS6 V10 tuned to around 700hp

None of the above felt as fast/terrifying as a mates 400 ish hp Tuscan though...!

It doesn't really get driven on the road anymore as I use it for sprints and hill climbs but the acceleration is pretty savage on it.

There is no point driving it on the road over here as our national speed limit is 40mph.

My F150 dyno'd at 421hp but I modded it a bit more till it eventually blew up.
Probably well north of 500hp at that point.biggrin

Having a new engine built by John Sleath this winter with all the good bits so aiming for about 650 ish.

Yes, it's got leaf springs
No, it doesn't handle
Yes, it's stupid.

Owned: Mk1 mx5 1.6 115bhp
Driven: mates fiat bravo 1.4 turbo 150bhp

Pretty depressing stuff. I have however, been a passenger in a 400bhp evo 5. Genuine 'cant lean forward under acceleration' performance.
