Yep, I've already said 300-400whp is perfect for a street car. I'm not interested in tracking anything at this point. Too much money and I don't have the time during the summer anyway.

All about power-to-weight, bruh.
I like a good 500-hp-anything as much as the next guy, but to say that "300 hp is on the bare minimum of acceptable" without also specifying an ideal curb weight is incredibly short-sighted and frankly, meaningless.
My Denali makes 335/385 but weighs as much as the White House. My M3 "only" dynos at 206/212 but doesn't weigh all that much. I guess the GMC is the one with an acceptable level of power though.
Ok, so I would have thought it was obvious when I said 300-400whp for a street car it meant your typical, 3500lb +/- a few hundred lbs, sports car.
No need to get all upset guys. 300hp isn't much in a 3300lb car. That's all.
