Good find, I enjoyed it. The Nextel Cup cars only make 450hp, is that right? I had to pick one without a test drive it would probably be the Ford Gt, Z06, followed by the Viper.

Your way off. They're 750hp @ 358 cubic inches @ 8 cylinders. You may not think they're crazy fast with 750hp like Supras, Corvettes, etc.. due to the fact that its in there gearing and there restrictor plates.

the year before the restrictor plates came out they were doing a top speed of 225 around a circle track. I would say thats better than a supra, oh yea did I forget to mention they're N/A? could you imagine what they could do now without the restictor plates?

*side note if you watched the race today they were running the new body design. When I first saw tony come around the corner I thought it vaguely resembled a skyline. if you didn't know they went to what looks to be a shorter wheel base, front spoiler and an actually rear spoiler like in the p2 series. you know those rice spoilers. theyre calling it the "car of tomorrow"
