No way in hell. Pro Build Autos says that after about 400 you're treading on thin ice. Of course if you drive around like a grandma and never use those 500 horses then ok.........its all in the way you drive.

In stock form, the tranny isnt very strong. But neither is the rear end and i bet that would go first.
