I can't imagine my car in stock form with 500hp. Let alone 700hp! LOL!!
I will have it set up with very good suspension and brakes and tires too. Performance is the goal. The car will be better than I am. Just like my bike is.
So MY goal is 500-550 but in a properly built chassis. Maybe someday I will grow into it and need more. But I try to be realistic about that kind of thing.
I think I am better off with a well balanced car instead of a HP monster, no skills and stock chassis.
So I am very glad the manufacturers are going in the direction of performance more and more now. Back in the Pro Street days that was not the case. If it was chrome or billet it went on the car. Performance was not even a consideration. In fact many didn't even run. To me that is a GIANT waste of cash. Any part that does not make the car a better performer should not be on it IMO.
