BUT....:)....does not make much more torque than the SHO, or any high
performance n/a 3.0L engine.
There is only so much sheer turning force a given x discplacement engine can
make. But if you can make that X amount of torque @ 18,000 rpm, then yeah
you can make 900 hp :) The power at that point is made via mechanical
torque ala gearing.
