You are right, 1000hp is useless on the street, but it is fun to have. As Charlie said, a turbo car can be made to be more "driveable" than a radical big block. My Viper makes 940 rwh on 93 oct and 1278 rwh on 109. Even with 355's on the rear, it blows the tires at 100mph, but it's more docile than the 534ci n/a motor in the Camaro. Now I got to get a stronger diff set up if I want to go to the drag strip with it. I have more fun in my daily drive SC300 with a small single turbo that puts down 500rwh through a automatic because it's more "streetable" power. I seem to do alot more track events, so I do prefer n/a motors more. They seem to last alot longer when you run hard all day long..
