    that would be awesome:bigeyes: but it wont END the war. it will take it to a whole NEW level. after all, WW1 was suppose to be the war to end all wars. yep, until WW2 came along

    I did some calculations on the Bentley Continental GT.

    It has about 550 hp from factory at 0.7 bar.

    With a chip stage 1 you would reach about 650-700 hp if the rate is similar to what I had on my car.

    I'm sceptical,but then,couple years ago I was sceptical about 500hp MB's.
    If it's true,I'll sell my Mother and my Mother in Law to get my hands on that car.

    The point is :to have a better alternative to s600/s65 for those of us who want the ultimate ,ultra high performance sedan,and can afford it.

    Theyīll probobly make a concept-car first, if u know what I mean , and to get as much profit etc, this car (if it will be realesed) will be dated way in the future. I think M6 CSL will take alot of the show nextcoming years.
    Secondly, at the time that I can afford a supercar like that, there wont be any more oil in the world , well that was perhaps not true but anyway

    Don't worry about oil,there is plenty of it,at current consumption it will last another 500 years with the new discovered fields.
    There is plenty unexplored fields in N.America,all we have to do is to get rid of all these enviromental wackos.

    I'm in the oil business, namely my company drills for oil and sells it to the pipelines. There's plenty of oil for all, believe me.

    That would be some awesome car! MB AMG is already trying to find a slush box that will handle 1000hp, so, it seems there is no end in sight. Good for us so long as the cars, unlike most MB have handling to match the power
