To who ever asked about why you don't see many 600+ hp domestics, it has to do with costs of operating those vehicles for street use. Someone can correct me if I am wrong but when you tune a car it uses more gas, but this becomes a bigger factor in a car that when already driven in city driving gets poor fuel economy. Yes they still get as good if not better economy on the highways, but in city driving they are that much worse. Also their performance gains are down in the area of normal city driving where as a smaller engine has to be taken to higher revs to obtain these steeply increase power gains. So it should be easier(and slightly more economical) to drive a civic that has 220 hp then it would be to drive a 600 hp camero in normal driving.
