He might, but....Terry is known to push the absolute limits. Look, he's my bud and we race each other all the time and every now and then he blows something up whether it's an engine or trans and just gets it fixed. He does all this R&D to build a better product and it obviously works. But his cars are always faster than his customers cars because he pushes the absolute limit on his. How many other M5's are at 670 wheel with just a tune?

Maybe with pure 100% meth and a higher concentration of e85 he will get some more power out of his F80. But seriously who besides Terry is going to do this? Terry may never release anything as powerful as his test cars to the general public. Why? Because Terry knows that he needs to build in a margin of safety on the products he releases.
