The problem here that its because of statements like this that ones ego doesn't let them admit that less is sometimes more, particularly on the street, and to be honest most street tracks
An example to this typical American (& in many cases Australian) psyche is the "UPGRADE" to the the "BIG", "JUMBO" or "MAN" size meal deal at the local fast food joint. When the truth is for a lot of us a DOWNSIZE would be an UPGRADE
It becomes a bit of a pissing contest of "My d!ck is bigger than yours" or "I'm the man" cos I have more HP than you & I can control it, that's why I have it and that's why I'm better than you... scenario.
Again, it's a little bit like the BB vs SB argument. Even if your right, fighting about still makes you sound like a retard!

So, I'm compelled to write this for those who in future will do the search & who are seeking advise on what power to build in their ultimate chariot, please subscribe to the theory that "
less is more".
Horsepower is
NOT king!! but IMHO traction
IS!!!
You'll still be able to blow the doors off any production car including Vetts, Lambos or Ferraris. You don't need, and in many cases may regret 550-650hp engine. So in summary anything more than 400-500hp at the flywheel on street tyres is ridiculous and some might even say
that is ridiculous.
