Just curious what's the highest horse vehicle you fellas have worked on or ridden in? Doesn't have to be cars.
175hp Kawasaki ZX10R. Cars aren't fast....Trust me!
Highest horse car I've driven is Project Shocker, my '89 LX. My best dyno so far is 822rwhp, but that's with converter issues. I have a new converter sitting here which I think will bump that number to 1100rwhp on the same tune.
Here's me goofing around with it on the street:
You would beat me if you could hook it! That is more than enough power to beat a street bike! Lucky you aren't closer, I'd definitely give you a shot!!!!!Highest horse car I've driven is Project Shocker, my '89 LX. My best dyno so far is 822rwhp, but that's with converter issues.

I'll try that Kaw.
What would that be?I drove my engine builders 8 second 1200+ hp Mustang down the quarter mile one time.
My work vehicle has the most power though. 13,900 lbs of thrust a side. I've fixed a few minor things on it, but I'm paid to drive it.

C-5 Galaxy. Not sure the horsepower numbers, but the 4 engines made around 50k of thrust each. Enough to push 700k pounds of jer/cargo/fuel to over 500 knots.Bikes aren't that fast either. I've worked faster, but not more powerful.
What did you do in the AF? Always wondered, just never asked.Let me help you. A TF-39D with the HPT upgrade, makes 41,100 lbs thrust per motor. That's a total of 164,000 lbs of thrust combined. So somewhere in the ballpark of 250,000 HP +/- 20,000 HP (it's WAY too difficult to figure out the exact values).
The converted M models are somewhere around 60,000 lbs and also spin up a lot quicker. So er... More.
I've never sat sticks on an M model though, so I'm going with the first one.

A lot people in aviation around here.
