Maybe I'm completely wrong here, but isn't there a limit to hp allowed as street legal in the US by many states?

I don't know if horsepower is really a factor in determining if a car is street legal. I dunno what is, but there are quite a few cars that pack over 600 hp. The AMG S65 packs about 604 hp and I'm sure it's street legal.

Nah... even that is not enough. How about BMW puts a jet engine in the new M? Yeah, then it's enough.....

+1. The Bugatti Veyron has over 1000 bhp and is street legal. I have seen the same one blasting up and down Route 17 in the Ramsey-Mahwah, New Jersey area in Bergen County near the NY border. It is a site to behold.
BMW had better bring it on quick. I think we are getting to the point quickly where high HP cars will be taxed like crazy. Plus speed cameras and GPS tracking will nail anyone going 5 over the limit.

There is no need to turbo the V10 over a V8. The V10 was designed for high revs which cycles more fuel/air during a given time period. The turbo forces more fuel/air without the revs.

It is my learned opinion that there are three things a man never has said on his death bed:
(1) I should have spent more time at the office
(2) I received too much oral sex
(3) I ever had anything with too much power
Bring on 650!!!!
