I do, but only when it's 120,000hp kicking up a 20-foot roostertail.

Obviously "obscene horsepower" is a relative term!

Built for a guy in Australia? If that doesn't get out in a Ute of some sort ill be a little disappointed.

Obscene by automotive standards, but not military or spacecraft standards.

Estimated 37 million horsepower. Is that enough?

That's pretty obscene also.

It has so much power that we don't have a good measuring unit for it. It produces about 5 x 10^23 horsepower per second. I couldn't think of anything in between a rocket and the sun.

Saturn V, top fuel dragster, giant ship diesel, all cool. But my big HP car is an e36 M3 and it's 14 seconds slower at Summit Point than my race car that might make 180 hp and which is the most fun w/ wheels I've ever had.

In reply to codrus:

Nothing tops the Saturn V in terms of ludicrous power, it is the most powerful vehicle man ever built. Each Rocketdyne F1 engine is equipped with a gas generator driven turbine that runs the fuel and liquid oxygen pumps, its made 55,000 horsepower. 5 engines in the first stage, so it took 275,000 hp just to run the fuel pumps.

just for the sake of accuracy....the ship I posted has gas turbines, not diesels ;)
