It’s that hockey stick curve on wanting to go faster - and if your email address has anything to do with it, your 7 liter Corvette puts you way up there.
That last leap is rocket science.

The pilots corollary, and first law of aerodynamics - the only thing keeping the airplane in the air is your wallet.
Or the boat afloat -
Or for that matter, the GMC in your driveway!

Yeah the Vette is a 12.00 second 118mph car all day long, it will dip into the 11s if you can drive.
It's as much as I want, more actually.
It is easy to think you want more, but the curve is definitely exponential. I have friends with fast cars. I'm the slow poke.
My new car I'm building has a 190hp V6.
I want a car that I can just drive without feeling I should be wearing a helmet

"The Aluminum and Fiberglass Mistress" The GMC in the driveway doesn't cost anything after it gets there, unless you want to spend time in it someplace other than the driveway. I can show you the receipts.
After I bought the Sequoia, and got a little into the reno to make it sleep 4 people, the CFO got mad because my spending was interfering with her spending. So after that date, zero dollars on the GMC(s) sitting in the driveway.
I would like someone to come and give me $8000 for it (or as close as I can get to that) and put it back in service. It isn't going anywhere as long as I continue to own it.

I will keep my 514 ,1967 Eldorado. Never felt safe in one of those plastic disposable cars.I have almost 650 ft/lbs so...One may be able to drive one for more than 3-5 years but I doubt it will last that long either before a crash or the Service Engine Now lights come on...

You may not feel safe in a "plastic disposable" car - but you WOULD be FAR safer...
