when is it enough?

[ponynx]

yesterday we had another toyota supra in here and the thing put down 843 ( stock 100,000 mile motor )rwhp ..............went for a ride and all i can say is its wrong in every way. if the car would hook at the track we are talking about mid 8s how many of you have driven a car like this? its fun to say the least but i mean really when is enough enough? lol

Damn thats some serious power. Id say anything over 450rwhp is a little excessive for strictly street use. Hopefully this guy made it home without crashing lol.

 

[ponynx]

yup he did .............lol

 

[gtmustang00]

you can never be making enough power!

dana, btw the cobra is fine? for some reason the crank pulley and tensioner aren't wobbling much anymore but the belt is squeeling.

 

[ponynx]

ummmm it should not be wobbling at all ! i said to bring it in right away ,lol

One word, Insperation!

This is exactly the problem I have in my Ford Fiesta.

those car's are straight up amazing.....if you can afford it I say go for it as it's never too much

 

[ponynx]

that is until you actually drive the car that makes 800+ its stupid , no really its stupid ! lmao the one thing that i know is that you can die an an instant with power levels like this.

I think I went overboard with mine. It isn't even fun anymore. It blows the tires off at 100+mph. With the 19's on it it's just dangerous.

thats a lie. my car is no where near to excessive for the street.

as for the original post. speed is addicting. the problem is getting used to it. then its necessary for more.

Why don't you just dial down the boost and drop down to an 18: tire with a bigger sidewall and footprint. The 19" might look good but i you can't hook em up than i wouldn't bother.

Over the winter I will probably end up doing CCW classics and run d/r's all the time. I have the boost set at 20psi (pump gas) now and it pulls like it used to on race gas with the 67mm on it.

 

[KenCobra03]

When I can run 11.50 et's all day... then that will be enough.

I've only raced my truck 3 times; all on the interstate from 50mph+. I (barely) took a current 427 (?) Saleen (w/2 passengers) and a Porsche Cayenne. I was absolutely run off from by a Supra, though. I ran into him when we both took the same exit and were caught at the light. Pleasant enough young man; we chatted a minute. My beast is stock; he said his was "definitely modified", though I'm sure not nearly to the extent of yours, c5. I see lots of quick vehicles around Atlanta, but that Supra was mind-boggling. Doesn't take a lot of boggle for my mind, though,...
