I was thinking the same thing last night when I heard about the new 250hp Honda
Accord coupe. My Dodge Dakota has like 230hp and its more than you'd ever need.

only around 300hp and thats for a real serious 1 ton work

think its plenty. Even with my wife along and a 250# woodstove in the
trunk.
Somehow it's just right that weight in Curt's trunk would be a woodstove.

The latest Car Draive has a one page blurb about a new Audi SUV with a V12
Diesel with twin turbo's and intercoolers - giving almost 500hp and 740
