This is starting to get a little crazy but very interesting, Ford has now passed the 1000 HP mark in a production Mustang, I’m sure GM will soon follow with the Camaro.

Is the Shelby really a production line car or post-production modified to that level?? Lingenfelter and Baldwin get crazy numbers out of the Camaro too, but it is post-production.
The insurance companies and law enforcement will clamping down on this soon, if the insurance already isn't. It will be like the early 70's when insurance cost more than the car. I don't doubt but at some point the feds will see the opportunity for more revenue by taxing hp after a certain level too.

Only $150-200K + cost of a GT500, I will take 5 at that price.
Look in the latest version of Car Craft. 1000+ with a 5.0L Coyote on stock cams, block, crank, and only port work done to the heads. Seems like strapping a blower or turbo on any of these late model factory motors has major power potential.

To prove it can be done, Lingenfelter took a ZL1 camaro and 2 weeks to match the GT500's 200mph top speed and also run sub 11 second 1/4 mile times.

When will it stop?
