The flood gates open.

The question has been asked, hundreds if not thousands of times (maybe twice...) "Does a spoiler from an American icon sports car make foreign cars go faster?" By popular demand, and the great state we live in, and because I said so, I say yes.
If you see a car that is obviously inbred with some other car to create a hybrid superfast American-muscle-car-spoiler-on-an-import or maybe even an eighties-"please-don't-get-that-rust-on-my-car-and-isn't-that-a-supra-spoiler?"-roadster out there, please let us know, get your camera phone out, send them in. As often as we come across these babies, we do not come across them often enough. So we ask you, all your friends, and maybe that cop that pulled you over for looking good--real good--to send us your pictures to toomuchhorsepower@gmail.com.

In the beginning...

There were two gents who looked carefully for men...ahem...cakeboys and women who had outfitted their motorcars with paraphernalia that clearly was designed to boost horsepower.

These gents developed formulas for calculating actual horsepower additives, secret formulas. They began calculating and adjusting, essentially setting out to solve the age-old question of how many KC lights can one Geo have without breaking the sound barrier?

Well...in answering that question, they opened a can of angry bats. Suddenly, automobiles of all sorts started appearing. Manifesting their horsepower in all variations.

I offer this as our first example. Hat tip to Beebs for this one. Please don't be discouraged. There are more out there, and if you find one, and it makes it on this site, you are in for fame and fortune. Well, at least limited fame.

These two gents decided to dedicate their spare 3 seconds a day to the display and calculation of too much horsepower - some of you may be asking is there any such thing - you be the judge.
