I think trying to get 800HP out of an F-Type would be quite a stretch.

Well. It hasn't been tried yet....but one person has come close to that mark, although he had to go water/meth AND nitrous...plus the "standard" fare of tune, pulley's, and exhaust.

@Stohlen...I haven't been here in a while, but I see that JVIII has become a moniker of sorts now...rotfl...the "JVIII special"...hahahahaha

Perhaps I should have said "a non-hybrid 800HP F-Type would not be a well behaved vehicle..". I know that there are a few supercars making 1,000+ HP by using electric & motor but few among us could view those as "viable" simply due to their million + price tags

The new Z06 will launch with 750 horsepower and you know that’s gonna be just as streetable as well... I think you’re underestimating where technology has brought us in recent years.
