God that is the worst way to talk about it ever, and so obviously is exactly correct. 1000C peak operational temps. So pretty similar to the MA956 (supposedly, but more likely PM2000) ODS alloy Porsche is using on their turbos. You could probably get away with using a SC nickel alloy or the GRX-810 alloy instead.

This is why I love GM, Ford and Chrysler more than ever. I've always been an American car fan, had a few imports in the 80's but always came back to American muscle. Now we have engineers in charge of these companies and they aren't afraid to create some crazy cars. ZR1, Z06, ZL1, Hellcat, Demon, GT500, GTD, GT40. How insane is the power coming out of Detroit? And you can drive them all day long. When I was growing up in the 70's, there were a few guys around town with Hemi's, LS6's, Cobra Jets, and a few of them built them up, but they weren't more then 450hp at the wheels and got abysmal gas mileage. As usual Thomas and James, well done. Can't believe you guys don't have your own TV show. All those iterations of US Top Gear, they should have had you guys as hosts.

[@SGBassplayer]

When I was growing up in the 1980s N/A carbureted V8 motors were being built for competition on NASCAR’s top circuit (Winston Cup it was called at the time) that dyno’ed at 600hp at the crank. The base model Corvettes at that time were rated at less than 250hp from the factory; you could order the Callaway twin-turbo package or the “King of the Hill” ZL-1 edition by the end of the decade but you still weren’t getting close to the power of a purpose-built race car (weighing more than 3.5K pounds) capable of reaching 200mph-plus on a banked track. 35-40 years later, YOU ARE. We live in amazing times.
