For the street, 400-425hp is more than enough, anything higher, and you'll deal with a car not very street friendly.
For the track, if you are serious about racing, 500-600hp is about right

PS: Keep in mind, 200hp is enough power in a Cobra to kill you. No anti lock brakes, no computer controlled engine management, not anything like you have driven before, not even if you race formula 1 or Nascar as has been noted before by owners who did.
