It is 505. They changed it. It used to be 500, they moved it up to 505. I think they wanted exactally 100 hp more then the 04?

that story seems kinda hard to believe, since when u punch it you would just be sitting at the light spinning the tires.. then eventually the dumbass kid would of let off the gas.
Actually with a really high powered car its easier than you might think, especially in the rain. I saw some video of a pretty high powered cobra (think it was around 500rwhp or so) in a dry street, start to do a burnout. The back of his car began to slide out and he tried to stop it but couldn't, and then once the back caught traction at about a 90 degree angle he went flying into the car beside him. I think he had some drag radials or something on though, but it was on a completely dry street, so I guess the rain could make up for the lack of drag radials in this situation.

Either way the kid was a jackass though.

It was 600 hp and the cobra hit the gas instead of the brake when it started to spin out causing it to crash.

My mistake then. A bunch of people were going over the video in the honda-tech forums and thats what they were saying at first. I only read the first page or so over there, so they may have changed what they were saying later. (Yes I know I'm a traitor! Actually the kills section over there is pretty good.)

When Im in the rain in the c6, the tires would just spin and the car would inch forward, sometimes it would start to turn to the side, but nothing to cause me to spin unless I turn. Maybe its the traction controll, im not sure.
