The "how much HP is enough" I believe has a thread somewhere. It's always a tough question. For the street or strip? There is hardly a power limit for the strip, NHRA Pro stock is a light car and they have big HP numbers. So you must be talking about the street. There are too many variables.
For me, I like 500, 600, 700 + HP on the street. Can you use it? NO and well, yes.
Yes meaning I like the feel, the shake, the sound and where and when I can,... the acceleration with an experienced right foot. [ I know it's probably illegal but I'm talking where there is no one around. I can manage it and therefore want and desire it.
I know it doesn't answer your question "how much is enough" see what I mean!!!
I am tired of hearing the phrase "street manners" My 500HP Cobra is no problem on the street. My 780 HP camaro could have easily been street driven by me, someone else- maybe no, maybe yes. Does it really matter. There is a HP # for everyone, and no limit for those that don't want one
