What is the point in installing an engine rated at 1,000,000,000 horsepower if the speed limit on the interstate is 70 MPH ?

Shawn, it's an extension of the Muscle Car days in the mid-late 60s. The top speed limit then was only around 70-75 mph. We didn't need top speeds of 150-200 then either, but they were available. It was a hell of a lot of fun getting to 75 mph back then though. Of course, nobody EVER went over 75mph in 1969... ;) Dude, did you ever hear of that recent phenomenon called a Drag Strip? It's a controlled environment where folks with a speed fetish have fun going insanely fast and spanking Asian car and Chevy owners. (It's kind of a B&D fetish club on wheels). :)

OOPS ! I totally forgot about the drag strip. It has been a long time since I craved speed & power.
