How much power do you need ? depends on the vehicle imo, power to weight is what its all about.

In a package like an AU XR8 400hp would be very nice indeed, but having said that we all know HP is like money in the bank, you can never have enough... :hihi:

Any more than 350rwkw is a waste of rubber.

I have learnt quite a bit just reading his build threads. His contributions are often utilised by other members.

Not good enough, you need to detune it. Channel those 6 rear wheelers over this way, I need them. Jokes aside I think you hit the nail on the head. Just enough to keep the tyres happy. I personally wouldn't enjoy a ballistic missile that can't hold traction... in 6th gear.
