Two vehicle garage tonight! The challenge is to get as close to 1,000 hp (or bhp or PS) combined using the stock ratings . Feel free to offer your ideal garage in addition to a combination that can hit the 1,000 power goal because accuracy and precision yeild two very different ways to approach a target, especially when it comes dreams. Aim well and as always, enjoy yo’selves!

Great choices! I wonder if Volvo offers the Polestar ECU upgrade on the V90.

Technically I’m about 30 over because the CTR actually makes ~340...

I was just looking at GT350 prices and even the base models from 2016 (before the magneride became standard, right?) are still basically at MSRP. The wait continues...

I’m glad someone else is excited about the GLC 63! I feel like AMG works perfectly for that size and design.

Porsche 918 @ 887hp and a 90s 22RE Toyota 4x4 pickup @ 113 puts me at 1k on the nose.

Fun and function, complexity and simplicity. Plus, both should be above average depreciation!

You just reminded me that the 911 Exclusive Series makes more horsepower than the Carrera GT and that the Civic Type-R makes more power than the 2005 NSX while having about the same curb weight. Amazing how much power has moved down market in just over a decade. That’s like me telling you the 2030 Civic Type-R will make 580 hp (and weigh 3,800 lbs).

Ding ding ding, this is the combo that inspired the post!

Wobbles the Mind > Dr. Zoidberg - RIP Oppo

I really like this combo! Makes me hope Lexus is secretly moving the GS upmarket into a liftback and/or sport wagon.

Wobbles the Mind > Rust and Dust - Oppositelock Forever
11/19/2017 at 21:40

Actually, I think both may be appreciating at the same percentage points right now.

Nah, I believe in always leaving room for overdelivering.

Dr. Zoidberg - RIP Oppo > Wobbles the Mind
11/19/2017 at 21:43

I’m hoping they attempt something, but the rumors are that the GS will be discontinued.

I heard about that but even though I can understand dropping the GS nameplate for the ES, and going to a three sedan lineup, it doesn’t make any sense for the next car NOT to share a platform with the LC and LS. Lexus even stated that sedans must deliver the dynamic experience you can’t get with utilities if they are to survive.

I could see a 500 HP turbo 4 being offered out of the box within a few years.

Initially, I’m thinking ski box on the McLaren but all the steep driveways and speed bumps I encounter would mean so much scraping. So I guess roof box on the Porsche and just get the Porsche replacement radio.

I can see it too, especially with electric motor assistance.

I think it works well. Every time I walked into the garage, I would have a huge smile. I love the fact that out of the station wagon and the supercar, only the supercar has a low range gear.

11/19/2017 at 22:11

Oh, I mean by itself. K-series can handle a solid 400 at the wheels out of the box as it is. I could see a Civic Mugen RR with a bigger turbo, more aggressive cams, and maybe a few more upgraded internals pushing 500.
