I hope the Ferrari, Lambo, Bentley and Aston Martin all add more horse power to all of their models. Because we have car that are under $100k that have close to 500 hp.

Cadillac CTS-V 2008 model, rumor to have 450+ hp, Lexus IS-F 450+ hp and MB C63 AMG with 457 hp. I know all of this cars are Not in the same category but you don't want a cheaper cars to outrun.
