240.5 HP!   "which is not a small number."   

 

Ya think?

Sheesh. That's just about the same HP I have on my 4000 pound car! Miguel

My half-ton Chevy pickup would benefit from an engine swap. 

 

Jeeze, 240 hp is a crazy number.  What is it for?  How does it get to the pavement?

With a lot of electronic help!

Ah So, the electronics cut the power to 50 horse below 50 mph, 100 horse below 100, 150 horse below 150 and finally above that you get to see what 240 will do for Bonneville Salt Flats top speed.  Sounds real special to me.

You can turn them off if you'd like. Or you can just buy an inferior 200 horsepower R1.

 

Remember, it's not always about beating everybody, but it is always about beating your friends!
