I’ve Got 1,000 HP in my Driveway – and it’s 88% Boring

Postby Dangermouse » Fri Oct 08, 2010 8:10 pm

No it’s not a Bugatti !!

I seem to have acquired a few vehicles lately which are cluttering up the driveway, much to the neighbors annoyance. Anyway, I was bored so I was adding up the specs in my head and came up with this:

34 cylinders
21.5 litres
1062 HP

Across 5 vehicles

on reflection, it’s not that impressive actually - 4 Honda Accord V6s (typical college student rides here,) would have more horsepower, but that’s not the point. I have a thousand HP in my driveway for well under the $1,500,000 a Veyron would cost!.

The ironic part - the “sports car” of the bunch is the D, with nearly 40% fewer ponies than the next most potent one.
