An LS engine in any old car would be that.

Which is the way most muscle cars go. Especially the LT and LS powered
Camaros and Firebirds. Too much hp under the hood in most cases means
they'll crash it under high performance. This happens to high performance
Mustangs and Challengers too. Corvette drivers are bit less inclined to
drive like an idiot and their cars last longer. Maybe they're afraid of
losing a pile of money invested in those cars too.
