RE: Why so many high HP cars now?
Simple. so many folks drove SUV dinosaurs and they had such poor gas mileage and as RLSH says gas was cheap. So naturally V-8 rear wheel drive cars were on the horizon and americans wanting the horsepower. Next step was to give the boomers what they longed for, a chance to relive their youth and cruise around in a car that fits their memory and is comfortable to boot. Woof and their you are. And here is where we sit today. Enjoy... its going to be short lived[X(]
