F430 TT...
The car is now at 1200 hp. Twin turbo. Gawd they make it look so effortless.

Re: F430 TT...
Wow, that's about the most un-dramatic 1000 HP I have ever seen. Even sounds stockish

It did a 4th gear dyno pull from about 3k rpm to 9k in literally 2 seconds. Go figure the rest.

If that car launched it would probably explode into a bunch of exotic metal fragments. Asking a Ferrari or any other car like that to launch is like expecting a top fuel dragster to turn a lap on a road course without issue.
