I don't know what anyone would even do with this really high HP on the street. If you take off too fast and get caught it's a ticket. In my State 100+ mph is a felony. Heck I can do felonious driving in a Tempo.

So it must be for pishing contest rights or track use.

I understand the allure of speed but anymore it's tough to experience it without the threat of costly prosecution in our police state.

Also I believe if I want to experience speed, why would I drag a ton or two of dead weight along with? Go fast on a bike and feel the breeze.

Additionally I've found that I much prefer driving a slow vehicle fast than a fast vehicle slow. Might as well sell the VMax...
