American muscle on steroids......if Ford and Chevy don't back down,everybody will be running 500 hp by late next year....I think reliability will be a problem with the jump to 500................where is our 600 hp coupe?.....
I think we need to worry more about the reliability of the young drivers out there with faster cars and no experience who will crash into ME!

Not to start a flame thread or anything, but I am sure you know that 500 or even 600 HP is easily achieved within the big 3 without loss to reliability. i.e. Dodge = 500HP viper and truck from the factory. Ford SVT = 400hp from the factory (many, many, many, many running 600+ with 0 reliability issues. Chevy Z06 = 400HP from the factory, 500 and on rare occasions you will see 600, 700, and even 900hp being cranked out by stock blocks and factory rearends. Now don't get me wrong, I do understand the basis of your concerns. However, seeing how they will come from the factory...will you really concern yourself that much? After all...they will have a factory warranty!
