I think if you want to stay normally asperated anything above 700flywheel hp is probably gonna start getting pretty lumpy and the touring portion of "PT" might be a little uncomfortable to drive. If you can afford to go force induction then the big numbers come and the driveability is still there. Most PT cars these days are tied together with frame connectors/ full frame/ and roll bar/cages so I dont believe these power levels are to much for the chassis. Be prepared to spend time learning throttle control if you go big, heck 400 to 500 wheel hp rips these tires pretty easy.

Who knows what the ultimate power is, it sure would be nice to drive one of these cars with a twin turbo Nelson engine in it.
