How much HP would you be happy with?

**wanger25** · 01-03-2009, 02:44 PM

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.

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.

**Christopherr** · 01-11-2009, 08:00 PM

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** · 01-11-2009, 10:51 PM

i just want a boosted ls hatch with about 320 whp

**AirMax95** · 01-13-2009, 01:05 PM

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** · 01-14-2009, 12:58 AM

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

**sirkus** · 01-15-2009, 12:06 PM

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** · 01-19-2009, 12:17 PM

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

**Arm&hammer** · 01-19-2009, 12:35 PM

i would be more than happy with 300 fwhp

**bagnasco** · 01-21-2009, 06:32 PM

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

More torque is more important than more horsepower there.

**SNOOPy00** · 01-21-2009, 06:35 PM

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

**T.S.** · 01-28-2009, 06:11 AM

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.

**secondgencamaro** · 02-01-2009, 07:17 PM

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

**JR VQ 30 de** · 02-04-2009, 04:58 PM

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** · 02-12-2009, 09:15 PM

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

**FlipKing** · 02-18-2009, 04:55 PM

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

**fawk_you** · 02-18-2009, 05:04 PM

200-299, power to weight. /said.

**Batlground** · 02-19-2009, 10:02 PM

I have made 1000 rwhp so now I want 2000.

**Z33_kid** · 02-19-2009, 11:35 PM

600 rwhp

**speedminded** · 02-20-2009, 09:07 AM

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

**81911SC** · 02-21-2009, 12:58 AM

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

**Benefit** · 02-21-2009, 01:01 AM

240whp in my itr

**RandomGuy** · 02-23-2009, 03:51 PM

450whp , rwd, for a DD would be awesome

any more and you can't really DD it

**jr4mny** · 02-23-2009, 04:11 PM

in my civic...250

**integraboi88** · 03-01-2009, 01:42 AM

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

**takyo_style** · 03-04-2009, 10:52 PM

around 250 Its a good all around horsepower i think.

**sleepys4** · 03-04-2009, 11:03 PM

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** · 03-08-2009, 08:46 PM

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** · 03-15-2009, 10:46 PM

none of my cars quite reach those ranges

**speedminded** · 03-16-2009, 11:48 PM

**Bacon** · 04-21-2009, 03:19 PM

**bRiAnMcIvIcS** · 04-21-2009, 03:31 PM

230-250fwhp in my civic.
