2017 Trans Am 455 Super Duty----Supercharged 7.4L V-8 that produces 1,046lb.- ft. of torque and 1,000 hp..(My goodness).. I am curious, what would be the G- Force, as your head and body sinks into the seat? I'm not sure but,, I would love to be in the driver seat to find out... Wouldn't you? I'm amazed, how they were able to get all that power under the hood. What a big difference, 40 years of technology can produce...

Hope you all enjoy!!!
