The engine runs well and pulls hard but I'm not exactly used to 514 HP so even if it pulled with 450 HP it would still feel crazy.

What about the emissions controls on it. What're the miles on it? Wonder if it's your transmission.

I tried again while observing and could not tell one way or the other but I did almost take out a signpost. Anyway, it was the first time I've ever heard it described that way. I never did get to see exactly what she was talking about but I did find/replace a bad intercooler coolant pump. |
I would expect some mighty pull from the 600, but I've never driven one or looked up the specs on one.
