How much HP would you be happy with?

[Nemesis]

Explain your reasoning.

POLL UP IN A SECOND, SO HOLD YOUR HORSIES :D

[blackboi50]

im happy with my 150hp because gas prices aint no joke right now!!!!!......32mpg FTMFW!!!!!!:goodjob:.......1

[Nemesis]

Lets also assume TQ will be approx the same.

[B18c1Turboed]

i dont see 800hp or 900hp....

[MachNU]

i want a weekend car with no less than 500 at the ground!

[blackshine007]

I'll be content with putting down 200whp while still getting 28+ mpg. Anything after that will be silly for daily driving useage.

[Nemesis]

i dont see 800hp or 900hp....

Thats where the greater than symbol comes in. ;)

[seanrg1116]

300hp sounds good until it doesnt feel fast anymore than more booost will be a requirement

[Batlground]

For my Road Race car I would be happy if it makes right around 700hp. For my drag car 900-1000 seems about right for my daily anything over 400hp is acceptable.

Matt

[ISAtlanta300]

300 HP is enough for me for smooth highway cruising, with still plenty of power on tab if I need to pass other cars. It would also help if it is out of an efficient engine, like the V6 in the IS 350.....

Too bad that such engine requires premium gas.. :(

[Nissan Sean]

if i could put down 300-350hp to the wheels i would be more than content. heck im putin down appox 250 rwhp( on a dynojet/dynapack) now and im content. the way i look at it is, any more than 350 would be a handful, and there will always be a faster car out there-so no point in making mine super carzy fast. thats my veiws.

[bigdare23]

give me a 200-250hp all motor b-series and I'm all smiles :D

[thepolecat]

100 because its all Ive ever had and it works fine for me in autox. it is fun to drive a beast of 500+ but I think id get tired of buying tires and gas

[southside]

I want 210 all motor cuz I can dig it out with my brothas built 351 and tear him a new one

[EJ25RUN]

depends what car.

FWD car - prolly around 200hp
rwd car - miata size 200hp
rwd car - mustang size 400 hp
4wd car - sti size - 350 hp
drag car rwd - 600 hp
drag car 4wd - 600 hp

The simple fact that gas prices are what they are, ill settle with barly enough to move from a - b.

[TheDarkRacer]

id say 200-260whp FWD/RWD. I'd like to have a boosted accord(sleeper) at like 230whp(long term goal) for a DD, and a 250whp rx7 for my starter drift car. :)
~TDR

[David88vert]

I always need more power.

[sikfricks]

h22 all motor at around 235 would tickle my fancy im at 195 now

[OneSlow5pt0]

300rwhp would make me real happy,but right now ill be happy if i can get it into the 200whp

[twinj]

My truck makes high 300's. Thats plenty for me daily. For the weekend I would probably need twice that.

[redpanda]

200 hp & ft/lb tq would be PLENTY enough for me. With my current car producing around 100-110 iirc from the factory 125hp, it noticeably feels underpowered on a hot day w/ a/c on in stop and go traffic, mostly on the highway. 200 would be enough to obtain good gas mileage with some oompff when needed

[DieselNuts]

I was thinking about this the other day. I was looking at the prices for supercharger porting and I was debating getting a port job for $700 and making around 515hp and about the same tq with all supporting bolt ons, or saving up $3K and getting a twin screw and end up making in the 600hp range.

Saving up $3K is a completely different story than saving up $700 so the short answer is that the port would be worth it because I honestly think I will be happy with 500ish RWHP.

On the other hand, I know once I'm @ that power level, Im gonna regret wasting money on the Port and Kick myself in the ass for not saving for a twin screw because the new magic number will be 600...

[antiv6]

well ive had 457hp/475tq for about 8 months and it was always a rush when i floored it and i got use to it so id probably want about 600rwhp then i would be really happy lol, realistically im gonna have about 510-530 in the next year but my alltime goal is to break the 600 mark

edit: damnit dieselnuts beat me by like 10 mins lol

[EmminoDaGreat]

id say 200-260whp FWD/RWD. I'd like to have a boosted accord(sleeper) at like 230whp(long term goal) for a DD, and a 250whp rx7 for my starter drift car. :)
~TDR


YOU SHOULD SOOOOOOO BUY MY CAR THEN :D

[eraser4g63]

I want between 300-400. basically 300rwhp for for driving but alway have that little extra bit on tap if ya need it. plus 300 hp in an FC sounds like fun to me. i think 400 could get a little out of hand.

[southside]

well ive had 457hp/475tq for about 8 months and it was always a rush when i floored it and i got use to it so id probably want about 600rwhp then i would be really happy lol, realistically im gonna have about 510-530 in the next year but my alltime goal is to break the 600 mark

edit: damnit dieselnuts beat me by like 10 mins lolall motor or forced induction?

[antiv6]

all motor or forced induction?
F/I
numbers now are pulley swaped stock supercharger, 510-530 would be ported supercharger, ultimate goal is either with a whipple or kenne bell

[GIXXERDK]

Ive never had a high hp vehicle, so I would want to accelerate as fast as my bike.

[_Christian_]

Ultimately >500whp, although I'd be happy to see 400whp out of what I'm driving right now.

[BKgen®]

i'd be happy with ~350-400whp for my DD. IMO, it's pretty pointless to have like a 700+whp daily driver just because that's all it is -- a daily driver. It's not like you can go all 'Paul Walker' on the way to work every day.

[slostang]

I'd be happy with 300-350whp in my 4-dr civic. i should be there in about a year.

[Barefoot]

if i can get the truck into the 560 range ill be happy.. 160 hp to go :bump:......



F/I
numbers now are pulley swaped stock supercharger, 510-530 would be ported supercharger, ultimate goal is either with a whipple or kenne bell whipple ftw:cheers:

[Bruce Leroy]

It all depends on the car... As long as my car can hang with a stock base model vette from a dig till ~130 i'll be ok.

[jdmblock]

i would be happy with 300 strait up. i drive a 1st gen crx so 300 would be like death its one of the lightest hondas made. but realistically everyday driving would probably be a ***** especiall cause gas prices

[jumpin800agl]

I have 405whp DD and 344 whp depending on boost maps. I plan on doing a shortblock build with meth injection just for added safety. my daily driver map will be about 480 whp, a 93 octane/meth map of mid 500's and maybe a race gas map for the track of high 500- low 600 whp. Then I will be happy. Anything in the 500 range on the street is getting to be overkill because you can't get traction unless running from a roll. Hope to get this within the next 6-8 months.:ninja: :ninja:

[manilikecars]

for a daily id want about 200- 250 whp but for a weekend play car would like over 800, not that i would need it but just to know i had it

[LIKEG6]

i wanna have a mildly built b16 with about 400hp

in an EF that looks stock........so far I'm doing good on the looking stock part

[FasTech]

I'd be happy somewhere in the 300hp range out of my car now, its a DD, but enough to run down a few mustangs or something along that nature. And something I could take to the track throw on some slicks and run in the 12's.....lol

[DieselNuts]

well ive had 457hp/475tq for about 8 months and it was always a rush when i floored it and i got use to it so id probably want about 600rwhp then i would be really happy lol, realistically im gonna have about 510-530 in the next year but my alltime goal is to break the 600 mark

edit: damnit dieselnuts beat me by like 10 mins lol
lol, at least we are on the same page.

[Sport1.3]

realisticallly even with my newer turbo setup, keeping the boost as low as possible i would be happy with the 150-160whp @ .4 bar. Gas prices blow. though i'm sure 2 months in i'll be bored and have it running @1.1 bar and 220+whp

[RL...]

depends....for my 'daily driver" I'd probably want about 300whp. For my "project car" prob about 600whp...my 2 cents

[SPOOLIN]

i voted the 400 range for the street. I daily drove my 500hp white civic around no problem gettin 30 mpg.

[WannabeSpecV]

since my car is my daily, 200whp would be more than enough to be quick and reliable

[90_ACCORD]

as long as the car can move im happy

[h22ek]

considering i will probably only be driving eg's or ek's, anything over 300hp for a DD is a little pointless. especially for a fwd car. 300 in a car that light will even up to alot of 400 450 hp cars. if i had like a 240sx or something a little bigger and rwd or awd i would want a little more like 400ish.

[DC2NR]

200-250 is plenty good for me allmotor.

[SLOWR/T]

I would want upwards of 1000. why? because it would be scary and fun at the same time.

[BobbyFresco]

I don't understand the purpose of ppl wanting excessive hp when they can barely drive what they have now to its limits.....



You should be able to drive your car to its maximum potential at its very basic state before you go looking for more power than you can possibly handle and can use legally.....

IMO anything over 300hp on a daily driver is ridiculous.

[Elbow]

I would want about 170. Naturally aspirated. Why? I do road race stuff, it's a light car, I want a clean powerband without lag and a mess. Just a simple crazy fast revving motor.

[03RCode]

Eh, around 400 accross the board in my SN-95 would keep me content. My bolt on/cammed Mach didnt have that much and I enjoyed every second of it.

[KevinT707]

I chose 400-499 just because I'm thinking that should be enough to pull 600cc bikes on the hwy and I would like to be able to say that I can pull on motorcycles.

[SandM]

when i was planning the dc, i was looking around 200-220 for a road race all motor set-up.

[TheDarkRacer]

I chose 400-499 just because I'm thinking that should be enough to pull 600cc bikes on the hwy and I would like to be able to say that I can pull on motorcycles.

pullin on bikes would be fun...
~TDR

Edt: I just lost "The Game"

[Member31410]

The 300-399 whp class has kept me satisified for the last couple of years. My Neon makes 320+whp on pump, 350+whp on pump and meth, while 370+whp on race gas. So far at the drag strips, it has achieved a 12.4 @ 110 on pump, an 11.9 @ 117 on race gas, and a 120 mph trap.

My Neon is my daily driver and I sure do put it to use on the road. The odometer reads 108,907 miles right this minute and we are in CA as I type this. It gets 25-28 mpg going to work and back while 29-33 mpg on the highway.

BTW, the car was purchased new in June 2005 while the setup was put in November 2005.


I chose 400-499 just because I'm thinking that should be enough to pull 600cc bikes on the hwy and I would like to be able to say that I can pull on motorcycles.

That should be more than enough horsepower to achieve that goal especially with how light your car is. Even I have pulled on a couple bikes. Just a few nights ago while I was on the way home from work, I ran into a Gixxer. We did at least four pulls and I ended up pulling on the bike every time. One run with the bike around three cars in front and me with the move, I pulled four cars on him by 140 from a 60 kick. That was me on pump + meth.

[khaxnguyen]

...my reason under 100-150 hp is BECAUSE of the gas price =P.. i likemy little civic because of the mpg, but honestly, i'd love to be 200-250 hp

[Batlground]

I would want about 170. Naturally aspirated. Why? I do road race stuff, it's a light car, I want a clean powerband without lag and a mess. Just a simple crazy fast revving motor.

Lag is highly overrated even on a road course.

Matt

[Just_CHill]

I would like 200+ for my current build.

[BlkCD5]

at least 200hp for my DD. 350hp for the project car(for now).

[KevinT707]

Hrmm, now I wait until the day I can throw some boost on the CRX! It's good to hear that your car is so reliable homie.

[87 Turbo II]

150-200whp because I already make about 120whp and my car is already pretty quick being only 23000 pounds, but I'd like just a nudge into the 160 or 180 whp zone just to be that much nimbler for autocrossing. Anymore than that and I'd have to go F.I. which I'd rather not do just to have quick throttle response and power on demand.

[KevinT707]

150-200whp because I already make about 120whp and my car is already pretty quick being only 23000 pounds
I can't imagine how quick your car is with 120 WHP & 23,000 lbs. You must get body roll like whoa during autocrossing. :goodjob:

[§treet_§peed]

5 wtq

[TehHakingS14]

i want to build my 2j as much as possible.....

[WHT_EP3]

I can't imagine how quick your car is with 120 WHP & 23,000 lbs. You must get body roll like whoa during autocrossing. :goodjob:
does it even move a 23,000 pound car only 150hp

[WHT_EP3]

well i voted for the 400 to 499 class, just cause i am planning to buy a 06 or 07 Sti and really they are fast stock, well to me their fast so a little more to increase a lil pep in the step would not hurt, plus awd launches are crazy.

[greasemunkey]

I voted 300-399hp <to the wheels is enough to make me happy, 4-500 would be a minimum life goal right now for a weekend car, anything more would tickly my fance into a wall faster than nick hogan...now for a dd honda 200 would be enough to shut mustangs around here the fucck up.

[patrick4588]

with the amount of money i have spent, i better make AT LEAST 500

[eYezs1ck]

i said 100hp cuz of gas

[yungdz]

I just put down a little over 300 hp / 350ish tq and I am pretty happy with it. I don't really want more until I can get a stronger tranny

[2.3 Evo 8]

My truck is about 400hp/405trq and it has plenty of go power. I love it!

I'll be realistic, I will look into a supercharger or turbo kit for it in the future. I want more.

The Evo use to be my daily with 500whp, but it was too loud on the street and got too much unwanted attention.

[b16EG-HaTcH]

if its gonna be a daily 300-350 , but the weekends are a diff. story, 400+

[jumpin800agl]

When my TT kit was first put on I thought my 344 whp DD map was fast. Now I find myself using my 405whp map more. I am probably about to go built motor in the next few months though. Looking for high 400's for low boost and mid 500's for fun runs.

[Fr33way]

I voted around 200-299 whp because I am right at 200whp/tq now N/A and enjoy driving it day to day. With a basic low-boost, Z32 MAF Z32 370s, IC, Basic AFC and WB02 my power goals would be around 280-320 whp from 6-9 psi. Wouldn't do much more than that on this car.

For AWD/RWD I would put a power goal on 400+whp. I am about cutting weight and all-around performance (braking/handling) rather than highway pulls and posting up dyno charts that look like look like a ramp, more about total area under the curve than peak numbers. That's just me though and I love to see people pushing the limits of whatever they are working with.

[AnthonyF]

I'd like 450-500. Anymore than that is pointless to me. 400 hp and you have more hp than 90% of the cars on the road. The other 10% you will hardly ever come across on the open road. I'm hoping Im finally at 450ish

-Ant.

[onebadgt]

i would like around 600-650

[Gorilla Eg!]

sry man but I cannot vote.....because to me you cant just say I will be happy with "X" horsepower....each car has its own style/ feel/ power limitations....so for say EX: a civic 250whp , nsx 350whp, vette 450whp, skyline 500whp, supra 500whp

[Doppelgänger]

I voted 300-400 because my goal is 350-375 eventually. At that power level, i'd be in the 11's which is plenty to fluck with a lot of cars in a straight line from a dig or from a roll. That power would also be the limits of that largest DOTR/slicks i could fit on my car without going widebody/flares.

Not to mention that would give me a power to weight ratio of about 6.5:1...... thats flucking MOVING.

[superboost]

550whp with my volvo. Its not too difficult to do, but I need a place to do it. That hp level is about where the stock valves and cams run out of breath, so I figure that is a good stopping point before things get too costly.

[Frög]

Im already in the 300-399 hp.. And im Craving more!! I remember when I first got it, it seemed so fast I couldn't even floor it.. Now its slow.. You can talk to guys who drive supercars and they will tell you that they are bored with it..

I chose >500 hp.. Short term, yes.. But in reality, I don't think anything will satisfy forever, I will need more no matter how much hp i have..

[Kckouki]

I voted 400-499.

Id love to have that in my S14, with an Rb26, teheh.

[jumpin800agl]

it feels so fast until you get beat by a faster car and then it's like fawk it, time to get more power.

[Blitanicle99]

I chose more than 500 HP.

Reason being, I just love raw ridiculous over needed power. Granted, yes you cant hook up for ****. But the fact that you have the power to spin them at 130.... Thats friekin awesome.

And also when I am racing around in my buddies silverado. Pulling up next to some camaro that thinks he bad... Well the camaro revs.... The silverado from say a 40-50 cruise just lights them up effortlessly and drags the rear end for a hundred feet or soo....

Raw ridiculous power. Awesome.

[watdaflo?]

350whp for streets.

[cactusEG]

250 and im good..

[Uptown401]

400 for streets

[MoFo]

seeing as my car is currently putting down around 300-320awhp i can tell i'd need it to be around 400-450awhp to be happy. if i were to built a car for only racing(drag/street lol/or whatever) i'd need atleast 600-700whp. but a nice daily with mid 400 would do just fine.

[Cyclonehatch]

>500, I already have over 400 to the ground & i'm already used to it.

[Sport1.3]

90hp. And runs off Biodiesel. Fvck these gas prices

[PURP]

150-200 all motor LS is what i'm going for.... oh yeah F*CK VTEC

[On_Her_Face]

1000+whp

[americanctm]

1000+whp

lmao billy. would that be in your vette or evo?

[Ronsam2006]

I want a car with 500 whp that is fully gutted. That's why I would rather have a 600+ whp car. I think I would get bored with anything less than 400 whp in less than a year.

[On_Her_Face]

lmao billy. would that be in your vette or evo?

evo

[GGPIS3]

i thought 400 rwhp would be enough... then i thought 400 rwhp with a 50 shot would be enough... i was sadly mistaken.. lol

[southside]

I want a car with 500 whp that is fully gutted. That's why I would rather have a 600+ whp car. I think I would get bored with anything less than 400 whp in less than a year.:thinking: If you have 500 to the wheels why would you need to be gutted:D

[southside]

My brothers mustang puts down 350 to the wheels.So I would like 500 all motor just because his friend has a boosted stang.And I would like to shut his ass up

[southside]

Oh thats 500hp fwd by the way

[01SpectraGSX]

I d be happy with 250-300 hp from my Ion Redline.

[Evolunchbox]

500+ FTW

[Master Shake]

im happy with my 150hp because gas prices aint no joke right now!!!!!......32mpg FTMFW!!!!!!:goodjob:.......1you might want to talk to spoolin cause i do believe he's laying down well over 600+ and still gettin about 30mpg.

[YokotaS13]

im at like 350 right now, i need around 400, and a faster spooling turbo. may change to an 86 hotside to spool it faster. not sure

[teg_seven]

First off - wtf if up with that "chick" in your pic?
Second - if the torque is the same then **** that
WOOT WOOT 532whp with 96pds of tq!!!!

[UpSideDownDesi]

none of the above.....

[Z33_kid]

600 sounds nice

[IndianStig]

400whp would be a great daily driver

600whp+ for street car

200-300 for a fun mtn car under 3000lbs (400whp if AWD)

[Jecht]

I'm aiming for 200whp in my Miata.

[NosVette]

i would have to say 500 whp on the weekend...:crazy:

[Humphrizzle]

i want 3000000 hp

[dz988]

i think ill be gud wit 200-299 on a fwd car its still b fast enough and also get good gas mileage

[RiceBoy]

I am shooting for 550-600 RWHP

[Hollowmon]

Trying to put 450 in my next CRX

[J13eck]

500+ company gas card :D lol

[Zeeb]

i make like 215 and my car is kinda light... so i like it plenty...

[Catnip]

I'd be down with 200whp in the datsun, 350awhp in the GSX, and 300whp in the camaro.

[Tree]

i'm fine in the 200 to 299 you can still get a good mpg

[The Creeper]

Id like to have 450-500whp in the z06, it would plenty fast enough for me.

[masonhenson]

EH id like 250

[kfzemx3]

300rwhp and I'm content

[eViLMunkey]

I'd be happy w/ 250 WHP in my hatch.. :goodjob:

[Silvrmaxx]

i'd be happy with 300-399 in the max... decent power but not too overbearing... specially since its the DD

[Z0_o6]

i could be ok with 400-450 awhp.

[scabtastic]

considering my car weighs 2200 pounds being at like 275 wheel, im sure it will make a pretty quick car.

[roscoe]

for a dailey no more than 250 is necessary.... but for a weekend ride i'd take all i could get in the awd flavor... like the norris design evo

[flak_monkey]

400+

But not in the camaro. I want to throw the LT1 in my old Jag Series 3 xj6. I'll take 300 for daily in the camaro. Maybe 350 with a cam and some time on the dyno. all rwhp.

[chaseamundo]

In my TYPE-S
id say 350 to 400

[Oz10]

I'd be more than happy with 300 in my RS

[dabuilding]

id be happy with 200-299 cause thats enough to have to play with but not too much to have to buy a dd reps for a good thread

[nismo_b14]

around 350whp daily driven is good enuff

[4DrTeg]

200 for me good enough for dd and wen im bored lol

[admedlin]

I would have to say 300 - 400 rwhp. It wouldn't really take much, just a small turbo kit, good catback, and a good tune

I'm sure a lot of people say as high as possible, but whats the point? there is always going to be someone faster! What is the point of an 800 hp car that you can't drive safely every day? 400 is great power and would be much easier to drive

[Sammich]

when i had the teg..i woulda sufficed for 250whp..but now w/ the max..i'd be happy w/ 350-400whp

the truck..250-300whp

[TireBoi]

400 whp

for a fast daily driver
and
enough for the EJ to handle

[big mac]

i say like 380 just because it would be a dd.

[RBS]

id be happy with 200 hp to the front wheels

[southside]

id be happy with 200 hp to the front wheelsx2 Rich:D lol all motor

[amped4life33]

Well my plan is to eventually have a fully built engine and a whipple on 19lbs of boost which should put me somewhere in the neighborhood of 700rwhp

its gonna be a while tho...about 20G's from now as a matter of fact..

[rrutter81]

it feels so fast until you get beat by a faster car and then it's like fawk it, time to get more power.

QFT.

i have a 2800 lbs 260 hp cobalt and i need more. Despite owning 85% of the road you get that 1 evo, sti, skittle, lightning, or bimmer that shows you that your slow ass needs to be picked up.

Ill be happy with 350 since anything more will cause my tranny to explode and evil **** popping my axles.

[Elbow]

And if that car is yours in your sig those doors alone are slowing you down.

[One_Bad_SHO]

503. :goodjob:

[MR.EM1]

270-320

[rrutter81]

And if that car is yours in your sig those doors alone are slowing you down.

i dont need speed that much. it is still a show car :)

Ill keep pumping HP in to it and keep the doors.

[jr4mny]

for my civic, as a daily/project i would just simply want 200-250

i think thats more than enough for me, im not a racer or anything...just want to have power..if i ever need it you know.

[Atlblkz06]

HP is good but lb/HP makes a lot more sense.

The current 7.45 lb/whp is pretty good but with intake/cam/tune it can drop to 6.0

A nice supercharger + forged setup(just in case) will yield 650hp conservatively (~6psi). That will take it to ~ 5lb/hp.

LOST: Briefcase with $25k in it. If found please PM me.

[Slow450rKid]

I dont know about yall but i would love to be pushing over 1000 to the wheels in a street car. The more the better. i aslo have a friend that has 1600rwhp in his street car that also runs 7s in the quarter and he drives it to the track!!!!!

[VooDooXII]

In my SAAB...I'd love to get anywhere from 250 - 300 to the wheels.

With the BSR Stage III upgrade and all the parts that go with it, I'd be right at 280 by their estimates...so that'll do it for me.

[SiKsTanG16]

I'd be happy with about a 600 hp daily driver

[2turbo4u]

The 381whp in my Lexus is quite enough in my car, that makes it well over 420 @the crank. 60-120 is only seconds away.

[Whiteboy572]

800whp+ for me :)

Twins @ 8psi put me at 649rwhp.. Forge bottom end, good heads, lower comp and a nice cam on 20psi+ should put me where i want or just mid 9's on the street with street manners.

[santacruz77]

i put 300 because i drive a toyota 4x4 solid axle truck to go off roading in. Anything more than that would be kinda crazy and then i dont think tread lightly would be very possable

[man]

My goal is about 350 for my rx7

[OneSlow5pt0]

300-350whp would be fine for my camaro

[flak_monkey]

Eh. I change my mind. I'm shooting for 600-700 383 with a procharger.

[OneSlow5pt0]

Eh. I change my mind. I'm shooting for 600-700 383 with a procharger.

LT1?

[flak_monkey]

LT1?Yessir. I'm either keeping this one in the camaro, or getting an LS1 for this car and building the LT1 and throwing it in my s3 Xj6. It's funny, I'm headers and gears away from low 13's. A big cam to throw me into the 12's, and heads to take me into the 11s. But at that point, why not build a 383? As sson as I get enough for a DD, it's on.

[OneSlow5pt0]

Yessir. I'm either keeping this one in the camaro, or getting an LS1 for this car and building the LT1 and throwing it in my s3 Xj6. It's funny, I'm headers and gears away from 13.1. A big cam to throw me into the 12's, and heads to take me into the 11s. But at that point, why not build a 383? As sson as I get enough for a DD, it's on.

nice,lol...LT1 to 383 are great

im either gonna shoot for 300whp on stock looking 305,or 450-500whp in a LT4 swap,and make one of the cleanest 3rd gens ever

[NVEOUS]

I think Id be happy with 400-499 since i have a WRX. SO a 500 hp AWD would be sweet.

[wanger25]

you can never have too much power

[rbf]

Since Im FWD I could be good w/200whp and that is about it.I do not like to race but if I need to pass someone I'd like to do it effortless.

[Kaiser]

you can never have too much power

Yeah, as long as your car can handle it. A 350whp Civic isn't street drivable. A 300whp 240z is street drivable but only if the suspension and wheels are heavily modified. You can indeed have too much power, and the sad thing about many people (And cars) Is that this number is very low for them.

[Christopherr]

I've driven a 98hp Civic, needed more...obviously.
Driven a 160hp Si, need more.
Driven a 190hp B18C Hatch, need more!
300hp f-bodies, need more!!!
400hp LS2 Vette, need more!!!
505 Z06, blah!!!

If your can handle it...even 1000hp isn't enough.

[99' LuDe]

i just want a boosted ls hatch with about 320 whp

[AirMax95]

300awhp would suffice for my daily needs in the Audi w/ the 1.8T. Once I decide to buy another car in about 4 years, I want something around 450whp, boost or no boost.

[Khalifa247]

More is probably better for me, seems like the more power I make the more I want. 300 range is getting boring.

[sirkus]

400hp AWD would be more than enough power for me. Thats just enough to pull my cheeks back to make me smile while rolling in the throttle :)

[Ferio4ya]

250 whp is fun for a daily driver. just enough hp to get in front of assholes quickly and efficiently

[Arm&hammer]

i would be more than happy with 300 fwhp

[bagnasco]

I would go with no more than 330 hp cuz im into drifting cars.

More torque is more important than more horsepower there.

[SNOOPy00]

250 hp in my mk2 would murder most things on the street...

[T.S.]

i'm going to say more then 500hp. If you guys have never been in a car with this kinda raw power. Then you are seriously missing out. 250horsepower is almost what is in the new Civic Si LOL. Why would you be happy with that little amount. Damn even the G37's and the Maxima's are come with like 300+ now.

[secondgencamaro]

>500hp because 3,760lbs without a driver is a FAT car.

[JR VQ 30 de]

i would have to say 399 whp just because i have driven dd car with that amount of power and it was still pretty good on gas getting around 23-24 mpgs

[VickNotic]

my reason, Theres no reason at all. I want it to last for ever!

[FlipKing]

200 wheel hp in my miata would be fun as hell. Thats all i would want for a DD

[fawk_you]

200-299, power to weight. /said.

[Batlground]

I have made 1000 rwhp so now I want 2000.

[Z33_kid]

600 rwhp

[speedminded]

The power to weight ratio of a Ferrari F40 would suffice for a play car.

[81911SC]

3-400 in my 2500lbs 911. Shit would be money.

[Benefit]

240whp in my itr

[RandomGuy]

450whp , rwd, for a DD would be awesome

any more and you can't really DD it

[jr4mny]

in my civic...250

[integraboi88]

300hp/300tq/30MPG/RWD would be pretty nice.

[takyo_style]

around 250 Its a good all around horsepower i think.

[sleepys4]

I need a another 75-80 whp so I'd say a little under 500whp. LOL at people that want between 100-200 whp. That just sounds funny.

[r34_gtr]

if i had a dd with like 450-500 hp i wouldnt even think twice about mpg or gas prices but if i had an 800 hp r34 i wouldnt need a house lol

[VWGirl]

none of my cars quite reach those ranges :(

[speedminded]

none of my cars quite reach those ranges :(Just add them all up :tongue:

[-S Double C-]

enough for 10's which would take around 420 or so

[speedminded]

enough for 10's which would take around 420 or soWhat sub-2200lb car? :ninja:

[-S Double C-]

yeah 2260 and a d series

[oaznbeasto]

200 is enough but theres always that want for more

[£G2♣]

200-250 is good for me

[hondachik]

200-250 is good for me

x2

[Bacon]

230fwhp would do me good in the Focus. Don't need much more than that for carving through the mountains.

[bRiAnMcIvIcS]

230-250fwhp in my civic.
or
my next car 280-300rwhp KA-T s13 coupe.

[patch515]

250ish to the wheels will do

[OTG Signs]

In a recreational vehicle... 600rwhp on the street, 1000rwhp on the dyno or track.

[WTF?]

i say around 350 but less then 400 casue shit its a fwd car and all it does is spin

[TSiFTW]

i say around 350 but less then 400 casue shit its a fwd car and all it does is spin

x2. Thats about what mine puts down and on the street it's about useless till halfway through 3rd.:D

[SUBY_RUE]

200ish whp would be plenty for me...

[Me86Rob]

right now, id be happy with 100, maybe 110

[jdmda9]

ill be happy with 300 whp on a built b-series vtec swap...! :D

[Atlblkz06]

650RWHP and a mean sounding exhaust on the vette...

I want to build a 240SX to ~ 300-350hp quick spooling turbo setup for a track car. I'm thinkin - buy a shell, put in an RB25 and go from there... I doubt I'll start on this till next year... damn economy (now recovering...sorta).

[jdm_integra]

ill be happy with 200hp in my rex that way it can still be my daily driver and have some fun in it

[YoshiFD3S]

I'm at about 380-390 right now..

I'd like to be at 450 WITH traction....

Then I'll be happy.

^_^

[jap_racer1]

myy dd makes around 450 to the wheels while still getting 26-28 mpg but thats driving normal i have seen 20 mpg but the problem is your never satisfied always wanting more!!!
i am ok with what i got now but i still want more!!!!!!!!!

[redblackfan]

150 to 250 on a inline 4 honda except s2k

[Turbd4DE]

350ish..... Just enough to have a llil fun on the track and street. And u can kinda manage that kinda power.:goodjob:

[joshk5145]

ill have to agree with turb4DE. my bud kasey has a 88 gt with about 375hp. fun as hell on the streets and can still whoop a little at the track. pretty good numbers to me.... although he's abit over 500 with nitrous........it gets to be a little much for the streets then at least the way he drives it. still fun as hell though

[ItsBlack]

i'd be happy with about 220

[boricua4life]

I make about 170 right now i Iwould love to be at 350ish... i f i Iever get that high. After that i Iwould just buy a bigger turbo or small things here n there ;)

[armyed]

The answer to this question is no car guy or girl is ever happy with the power they have...always want more! I know I do. I will be ok once I hit 800RWHP and im sure ill want to go more once I get there. It happens every time!

[arriaza7170]

300 I'm in a FA5 so i only need 103 hp more :lmfao:. anymore than that in a FWD car is just retarded IMO

[m3dic8d]

I'm happy with the HP the Z has on the street. Any more would just be begging for me to wreck and / or get tickets...on the track I'd take my dad's Z06, with what...4-something HP :)

[NickW]

500+ is a must for the weekend car. 250-300 for the "other". And a motorcycle for the gas savings purpose.

[95LxCD5]

give me a 200-250hp all motor b-series and I'm all smiles :D

thats what im shooting for, but with an f-series motor

[RedEj8]

In my Civic id be happy with 300-350whp. I think it'd just enough to beat most other vehicles and could still be somewhat of a sleeper.

As for my Mk3 Supra, i'd like 500+. Cause then I'd be able to live up to the Supra reputation and be able to beat most cars out there.

[E30 auddie]

300-350+ in an E30 would be good for me, for a little while anyways until i wanted more power. u can never have too much power :goodjob:

[91ma70]

the cars i like are usually on the lighter side so i wouldnt need that much power to be happy.200-299hp

[Dville nismo]

I think 300 to 400 is more than enough for me, but i suppose it depends on the car.

[greasemunkey]

I'm happy with the HP the Z has on the street. Any more would just be begging for me to wreck and / or get tickets...on the track I'd take my dad's Z06, with what...4-something HP :)your dad has 505 actually and id def. not be happy with a stock z, heavy as balls for a 2 seater

[jumpin800agl]

i'm going to say more then 500hp. If you guys have never been in a car with this kinda raw power. Then you are seriously missing out. 250horsepower is almost what is in the new Civic Si LOL. Why would you be happy with that little amount. Damn even the G37's and the Maxima's are come with like 300+ now.
Very true. 330hp stock. I want 600+whp later this year.:D

[Turbodude06]

300-399 for daily.....

[Ocelot]

I had actually stated recently that I want to keep my 350Z close to how it is now and buy a 300ZX and hook it up with at least 600whp. that would make me very happy :p

[jville95]

I voted 200 - 299. That's just what i'd prefer on a on a daily...

[tandem]

I'd be happy with 300hp

[.93lude]

300-399 i dont want too much for daily driving, but i still want a good bit on tap when i want to have some fun

[Incontt]

935rwhp. that seems to be the number that its going to take to get my tank to a 9.39 this fall.

[bdydrpdmazda]

id be fine if the STi was just shy of 500 at the wheels. I think id be content for a few months with that

[Black R]

1k or bust

[jnv255]

850/ 600tq

[The Green Monster]

I'd be happy with about 750 - 800 for the weekends, with my sc still stock looking :goodjob:

[marcos713]

I'll be content with putting down 200whp while still getting 28+ mpg. Anything after that will be silly for daily driving useage.

x2! any car higher than 350 or so cudnt be a DD or atleast not for me

[Greddypacked]

400-500 Well cuz i can handle this much horsepower w/ everyday driving and it would be nice to have when wanted lol.

[collins]

x2! any car higher than 350 or so cudnt be a DD or atleast not for me
you're joking, right?

[SPOOLIN]

you're joking, right?

he must be. lol

For a daily FWD id stick with 400 and NO MORE.

Im not saying to not do it, because either way its fun shit !

[claybird]

I want something so when the rich snoby kid pulls up at the red line i can fo sho whoop his ass in front of his girl!

[SlenderEG6]

you're joking, right?

lol:lmfao:hopefully that was a joke

im looking a gettin alitte over 500 to the rear wheels on my s13 daily drivin! not hard to get on a 2jay and still be realiable! if done right:goodjob:

[DoriDori]

I'd be happy more than fine with 600-700 in a R32 GTR. Most people say thats the usable limit for a street GTR.

[jhadleyh]

im building a 2jz 240 in january. I have hopes for atleast 800hp
