Personally, I think it's the drag coefficient (.29).

They can be very quick when they hook. Spinning is just not fun to me. You need to get in one with 700hp + at the wheel. 600whp is just boring.

Absolutely can take you for a spin around the block. Anytime you are in the hood, stop by. I fear spooler is right were it will be a bit lackluster but F it we'll ride.

The issue is what I think is fast is different than yours. I have been driving fast turbo cars for a long long time. The more you drive them, the more you want for that same adrenaline rush. You will get there. Your tolerance/experience will go up just like everyone else. IF someone rides with me they may freak out because of that or they may not. It all depends on what they have been exposed too.

Think what you are trying to say. Once you get used to the power. You want more. Yea........you're a junkie.

In my one TransAm. Went through 4 motors. With each motor. It was more then the one before it. That was an ADDICTION.

Yeap, that is why they call us Boost Junkies. Turbo cars are way more addictive. It is so easy just to turn up the boost. Our cars pull at the way up top and never stop.

My first turbo car scared the crap out of me a night back in 1992. It could outrun the headlights. I still have it. My 1975 280z turbo. It is better to start slow and work your way up. That way you don't kill yourself when the car does something stupid.

What's fun is when you're cruising on a rain slick road with a 572 cubic inch motor with 13 to CR in 4th gear. Lift off the gas and have the rear tires lock up from the compression.

Pulled her out of the garage for the first time since she went into hibernation. I do love staring at her.

That looks so good!

Slow morning here at work (briefly - it's going to get pretty fast paced soon) so I went back and re-read this entire thread. Really enjoyed it - and had a lot of fun thinking back over my memories from meeting up with Madwi, Rusty, JC Hammond, EW, Zoren, Jar, and FP from Zdayz 2018.

Great thread, A++, would recommend.

Edit: I also met Memphis370z and DePoint5.0

Edit 2: And Spooler and Hotrodz. Probably others. Sorry guys the social distancing is eating my brain.
