I'm asking cause I think it would take between 600-700 hp/tq to keep me happy. Why? Well, it'll probably be one of the fastest cars in my area, since 10s are in reach. Also, no matter how high someone goes, there's always someone faster. My way of getting there would be a stroker 347 with a single turbo(T-70). How about you?
400rwhp makes me happy for the street. Anything more would be just insane to try and hook up with street tires.
From the very beginning of getting a stang, I wanted a simple 300rwhp. Now I should be just there, and I love it. It's good enough for now.
Yea Id say 400rwhp for street and just toying around.. Ill always like more.. but that would keep me happy
I've had two 300rwhp cars and they seem slow now, at first they were balls to the wall, now when i floor it i like mess w/ the radio or whatever, lol
1500 streetable, dead quiet, easy to drive, completely 100% relible horsepower with no traction issues...In other words I'll NEVER ever ever ever be happy.
only in my dreams because im still in HS, so i have no money and prob wont have money until im out of college. damnit i want power id be happy with 350hp ~400tq so heads, intake and a procharger
I would need at least 450+ rwhp and 450+ rwtq (UN-naturally aspirated ) to keep me happy I've got a long way to go...
I am totaly happy with my car as is now...no matter what it runs I love it. My goal was for a fun street car that has some arse with mostly stuff from factory ford autos. At some point in my life I want to build a 32 3 window (with either a 03 cobra or LS1 motor), and a notch with a 331/347 with a 66-76 single turbo.
Well, I should have over 400+ na and it's nice. My final goal is a 418 with a sportsman block and a turbo with a/c and great street maners. Should only cost me 4-5k more to do that. But thats for after I get a job as a firefighter.
1001 rwhp with 1001 rwtq all with 302 ci. ...some day she will be mine, oh yes she will be mine... now i just need to get, whats that stuff called...oh yeah MONEY
500+ h/p, 650+ torque, my car became a complete joke on street tires.. Fun, to an extent, but at times down right scarey. Now, after knowing what I do.. for a daily driven street car, as my 01 GT will be.. I have a goal of 350RWHP through a 100% stock 4.6 single turbo, and will be content keeping it that way.. IMO 400-450rwhp, or close to it, should be enough to keep anyone happy. Right before tearing my car down, I was close to or at 600rwhp, and I could not imgine anything more being 'fun" on plublic streets, especially when the car just wants to lose it at any speed, in any gear. I will say running around town on slicks made the car more predictable, but who wants to do that... At the track, yes more would usefull.. Really depends on if it'll be a track, or street terror.
i think i'd settle for something around 375 rwhp and ~400 tq. if i could get my car into the low 12's i'd be satisfied. lots of ls1's and lt1's to beat around here.
I set that goal cause my car wouldn't be a daily driven car. It would be garaged kept and just taken for a cruise on weekend to terrorize other cars and to the track every once in a while.
