get arrangements to drive in 2500 hp car equipped with ejection seat and parachute. Do the 1/4 mile in 4.8 seconds on strip overlooking grand canyon - strip is 1/5 mile long. That will scare you

the gps will eject you at the zenith of the deathplunge but you will have to open your chute - aneroid triggers are not reliable for beginners

:p

I think 500 lbs-ft of torque is needed to really enjoy a car, doesn't matter if the tires only last 1000 miles

a 12,000 hp electric motor pushing a car on a rail like a loco but rails notched like a rack and wheels would be gears so slip would be non existant. Can you say eyeballs IN acceleration? You would pass out!
