When I was in high school, I detailed cars for my dads buddies for some extra cash and once every two weeks, I would detail a special edition Dodge Viper. It was almost scary when I first drove it. The thing was crazy. Just over 500HP.

The first time I held my son, shortly after he was born... I held the power to bring about a change the world in my hands.

From the FACTORY, initially, about 1/100th... But that's static. Later on, after a few years of food mods, I'd say he's pushin somewhere between 1 - deep-blue infinity...
But, inasmush as he's a teenager, most of it is POTENTIAL hp, not actual
