1200hp looks good on paper, but I think it would be troublesome on the street. Not to mention downright dangerous. Yeah, you could break the tires loose at 100 mph on the freeway, but going sideways in traffic at that speed is probably not a real good idea. Tracy at RevXtreme had a blue C5 on his lot for sale for the longest time that was putting out that kind of power. The owner drove it once, did just what I mentioned above, and it scared him so bad he never wanted to drive it again. So he put it up for sale.

My C5Z was putting out around 533 rwhp and that was a pretty hefty amount of oomph. I'm hoping that the new engine doesn't turn out to be more than I want to chew, after all this time....
