I think anyone who buys this car is making up for a lack of something.....If you are that rich why arn't you giving tons of money to charities and people that NEED the money. If you need that much poer just go to a local Dodge dealer and buy the SRT-10 with the twin turbo package...out runs the Enzo and still will pull any trailer you need!

Forced induction adds a LOT of stress to things, and you need the longest rods possible for a given displacement.

That's why you go Mopar. The 10.72" deck height of the RB blocks makes possible the longest rod/stroke combination for a given piston compression height.
True, but I think it's been done several times and with good success. Besides, a 572 crate comes fully forged with 600hp. Add some forced induction, lower compression pistons, and boom, instant 1000hp.

There are many that don't like to use the phrases 1,000hp and BOOM in the same sentance.
