I'm sure almost all of us have been in a boeing 747... 58000 lbs of thrust per 4 engines for a total of 232000 lbs of thrust. This works out to be about 59,934 hp. At a speed of 530 mph... this is probably the highest hp fastest vehicle any of us has been in.
my friend has a 1990 civic CX with a turbo b18c1, he has dyno'd 408hp. and runns 11.9's

yea but that 530mph is true airspeed at altitude, not "indicated airspeed" (adjusted for air pressure). indicated airspeed (as if it were flying near the ground) is only about 280 knots (about 320mph).

550+ HP Lingenfelter Twin Turbo C5 Vette..... Good Stuff.
You are even luckier than the dude with the Supra. Those Lingerfelter Twin Turbo C5 Corvette's are so bad ass.
