More than enough power for me..I'm more concerned with the handling and track prowess. Also, this thing's not going to be cheap, remember, it's built in Italy and the US Dollar isn't the healthiest...I expect it to be upwards of 11 large - Hence, like the 599 before it (also built in Italy), it probably won't sell. I expect, again, like the 599, a very short life in the states. Unfortunately, that means I'll have to buy one..WOOHOO!!! Steve 00 sv6fity 05 duc st3
