Reading about Adam’s 1,092-horsepower Porsche Taycan Turbo GT ride makes me laugh out loud. Is 20.1% less time to reach 60 the only way to get emotional? The number for HP, on the other hand, will stay within four. Which car have you driven that has the most power? The Aventador SVJ with 770 horsepower was on my list of cars to accept until I remembered that I had raced a Dodge Demon on an Indiana drag strip before. When running on very high-octane fuel, that beast was known to make a crazy 840 horsepower. The quarter-mile run was strong, interesting, and thrilling. But it taught me that I like to stay in the shallow end of the pool, with tools in my dream garage that are much lighter and less powerful. I like the painful straight-line acceleration, but I don’t need that much stress in my life anymore. I think the Ford Super Duty with the newest High-Output Power Stroke diesel engine gave me the most power I’ve ever made. That’s what the supplier says, 1,200 lb-ft! When it comes to “most horsepower we’ve ever owned,” my numbers aren’t nearly as amazing. However, since we’re talking about high-horsepower driving today, tell us about yours so far.
