There are plenty of vehicles these days that stock come with 500-700hp. Back in the day, there were lots of Supras that were supposed to be in the 800-1000 range. These days, you see on youtube plenty of videos of Ford GTs with crazy +1000hp numbers (some reported as high as 1500, I think) and there are similar claims for various lambos, corvettes, SKyline, etc.... These days with computer designed motors and computer controlled motors it doesn't seem to be too hard to slap a turbo or supercharger on the right kind of motor and get silly power.
