Soccer moms in 1,000HP Suburbans - is the world ready for this?

So you can now buy a Chevrolet Suburban with a supercharged 1,000HP engine (875ft-lbs torque) - is this really a safe thing for a soccer mom? Link to article.

If I know anything about soccer moms, its that they always buy their cars through aftermarket tuning shops.

Btw this price is on top of the price of a Tahoe or Suburban lol.

It’s too bad Chrysler didn’t hellcat the Pacifica. I would totally rock a minivan with 700hp. Expedition, not so much. At least the Pacifica has sort of car like driving dynamics and can corner half decent compared to any other minivan out there.

The concept of a suped-up Suburban is basically as old as the platform itself... Stillen, Canepa, Hennessy et al have been doing this since the mid-90s. Way to stay relevant, driving.ca

Yah, crazy pricing but there'll be a few that'll buy such a beast.

Fun fact, the Suburban is the longest continuous use of a nameplate - Suburbans have been continuously produced since 1935, 84 years.

Hope they upgrade the driveline. Fasterproms Escalade shredded his driveshaft like a beer can and he's probably around that 1k HP or less mark.
